A maker that counts narrower channels and states their width is converted by the total bus width, so Qualcomm's 8 channels of 16 bits are 2. A total bus width alone is divided by 64, so AMD's 256-bit interface is 4. The maker's own count goes in the source note.

GPU coresiAs the chip maker counts them: AMD compute units, Intel Xe-cores, Apple GPU cores. Counts from different makers are not comparable. Intel execution units (EUs) are not Xe-cores and are not stored here. Apple sells some chips with two GPU core counts under one name, so it is per variant.
