The  CUDA cores perform basic arithmetic while the ray tracing cores are specially designed and  optimized to execute Ray Tracing.

CUDA 核心执行基本算法，而光线追踪核心经过专门设计和优化，可执行光线追踪。

Nvidia's popular programming language, cuda, already makes it easier for developers to boost the performance of its chips.

Nvidia 流行的编程语言 cuda 已经让开发人员更容易提高其芯片的性能。

When we open up this GPU, we find a rather large  microchip that has 10496 CUDA or shading cores and 82 Ray Tracing or RT cores.

当我们打开这个 GPU 时，我们发现一个相当大的微芯片，它有 10496 个 CUDA 或着色核心和 82 个光线追踪或 RT 核心。

Compare this with the NVidia 3090 GPU which cost a few  thousand dollars when it first came out in 2022 and the CUDA or shading cores perform 36 trillion  operations a second.

相比之下，NVidia 3090 GPU 在 2022 年首次推出时售价仅为几千美元，其 CUDA 或着色核心每秒可执行 36 万亿次运算。
