We now have the first picture of the next-generation NVIDIA Tesla A100 graphics card. Designed for computing oriented applications, the Tesla A100 is socketed GPU designed for NVDIA's proprietary SXM socket. In a post few days ago, we were estimating that you might fit Tesla A100 GPU in the socket of the previous Volta V100 GPUs as it is a similar SXM socket. However, the mounting holes have been re-arranged and this one requires a new socket/motherboard. The Tesla A100 GPU is based on GA100 GPU die, which we don't know specifications of. From the picture, we can only see that there is one very big die attached to six HBM modules, most likely HBM2E. Besides that everything else is unknown. More details are expected to be announced today at GTC 2020 digital keynote.
 
Looks to me that large corporations and similar enterprise customers will be able to have even greater performance.

    Some fancy looking power delivery right there. I wonder what one of those cards draws.

    this is what I found as far as something that has some specs :https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/a100/
     
    no mention of any core counts, but 40GB of ram (compared to 32 on the volta counterpart) and 1,555 GB memory bandwidth compared 1134GB memory Bandwidth of the volta version.
     
    Still hard to pull speculation from that.

    Porsche 911 pick a red one😼. Graphics Card from Nvidia is overpriced as usual🙄

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

    Actually I'd rather save up for one of these.

    Here's a pretty good comparison, I think...?
     
    https://pcper.com/2020/05/nvidia-introduces-7nm-ampere-a100-gpu/
     
    It's the follow on to the V100, datacenter card.  Not really even a graphics GPU. There is no TU100 chip that would allow a direct comparison to Turing chips.

    All hype aside, in straight theoretical FP32 performance, this is 45% more powerful than a 2080 Ti:

    https://www.techpowerup.c.../tesla-a100-sxm4.c3506
     
    38% more powerful than a V100, probably the most direct comparison, being their last compute card:

    19.5% more powerful than a Titan RTX:

    HUH.

    The full implementation of the NVIDIA Ampere GA100 GPU includes the following units:
    • 8 GPCs, 8 TPCs/GPC, 2 SMs/TPC, 16 SMs/GPC, 128 SMs per full GPU
    • 64 FP32 CUDA Cores/SM, 8192 FP32 CUDA Cores per full GPU
    • 4 third-generation Tensor Cores/SM, 512 third-generation Tensor Cores per full GPU
    • 6 HBM2 stacks, 12 512-bit memory controllers
    The A100 Tensor Core GPU implementation of the NVIDIA Ampere GA100 GPU includes the following units:
    • 7 GPCs, 7 or 8 TPCs/GPC, 2 SMs/TPC, up to 16 SMs/GPC, 108 SMs
    • 64 FP32 CUDA Cores/SM, 6912 FP32 CUDA Cores per GPU
    • 4 third-generation Tensor Cores/SM, 432 third-generation Tensor Cores per GPU
    • 5 HBM2 stacks, 10 512-bit memory controllers

    this would be tesla Professional cards .....not Consumer based cards ....  still have to wait til later this year like AUG  like the hotchips show in AUG
     
    Intel's Xe will make a debut there as well
     
     
     
    May i also speculate that 5 stack of HBM on teslas mean 40GB vs the full 48GB
     
    so any Consumer card following the logic above means 20GB GDDR6 on the consumer based cards - since we only get 1/2 that of tesla cards
     
    PS: mighty sexy NVLink connector there
     
     
    Next-Gen Hopper GPUs Based on Samsung’s 5nm EUV Process, Alleges Rumor – Mass Production Begins This Quarter
     
    ..... There also exists an opportunity for NVIDIA to go with Samsung's 5nm for its consumer-based graphics card lineup since mass production is indeed happening this quarter and GeForce cards replacing the Turing lineup could arrive by the end of 2020.

    What I figure is we won't see Ampere for Consumer at all....Volta, Ampere, Watt and Ohm will be used only for Professional cards - physicist names
     
    and Consumer base cards will now be based on Programmer names....like turing and hopper
     
    this leave s us with two different paths - and the reason for two different naming paths- one AI and server based and on CoWoS chips - specifically focused  there
     
    and consumer with GDDR6 and with different needs
     
    5nm for consumer cards???? - probably trying to get power consumption down.....I hear Ampere eats a lot
     
    if you are doing 5nm now in 6 months you could be ready for launch  for hopper - limited supply until TSMC is up - but seeing that not many people are up to buying high $700 or more expensive cards then early low availability won't be an issue 
     
     
    yeah they locked down tsmc's 5nm production as well
     
    The GPU giant has also locked down TSMC’s 5-nm capacity for 2021, which will most likely go toward the next generation of cards, reportedly code-named Hopper.

    Great theory but I need to point out that the GV100 was offered in the Titan V and Titan V CEO, while the TU102, 104, 106 were used in Quadro cards.  There's also a bunch of info pointing to the other GA cards having RT cores, why go to all the trouble developing these for professional graphics but not release consumer versions?  Nvidia wants to sell every chip it can, where are the poorly binned chips going to go?  See the TU104 RTX 2060 variant with 5/8th cut down, they are willing to take drastic measures to get rid of these chips.

    That's where they make the big dough.  Us consumer folks are the small market for them just like the CPU mfgers.  Once they've set which silicons will enter that space, the disabled leftovers is for us.

    Eh, professional probably has good profit margins but low units.  Gaming is nearly half their revenue though.
     
    https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/nvidias-data-center-revenue-jumps-43-percent/
     
    While GPU sales to end users are a fraction of that, they sell far more gaming GPU cards than professional cards.  That's a whole lot of chips they are getting rid of at some sort of revenue, that would otherwise be going to waste.  The TU102, T104 and TU106 all have Quadro variants many of which are full chip.  Most notably all the full chip TU104's went into Quadro RTX 5000's for nearly a year until the 2080S was released.  They aren't going to fab a whole line of new chips then chuck out the ones that don't make the pro cut, when they can bin and sell them for consumer use with little incremental cost.  Yield management.
