Modern video game consoles in particular use SIMD extensively and this is the basis for some manufacturers’ claim that their game machines are themselves supercomputers. Indeed, some graphics cards have the computing power of several TeraFLOPS. The applications to which this power can be applied was limited by the special-purpose nature of early video processing.
