  • You'll see the difference with CIQ 4 devices.  Devices with CIQ 4 (like the f7) have a GPU, while CIQ 3 devices (like the f6) don't have a GPU.

  • Hi, thanks your right, this should add extra perf day-to-day because of offloading the CPU of specific tasks.

    "Another new thing for Garmin is this processor has a GPU. It’s for 2D vector graphics and can run at 200 MHz speed. Garmin Venu and Epix has AMOLED screens with higher resolution displays with support for much more colours. This creates a need for more memory and processing power. Additionally, new generation Garmin watches have touch screen and you wouldn’t want the object on the display move a second later you move your finger. Thus GPU and better LCD controller is needed on newer watches."
