We know very little about the latest to arrive in the market by NVIDIA. In theory, a new build that should surprise both users and shareholders should be Ampere, where data is slowly being downloaded and droplets, still unverified rumors.
Right now, it looks like NVIDIA is looking to the future and, to our knowledge, wants to expect that Intel and AMD and his Ownership of Hopper PropertiesBut what do we really know about him?
NVIDIA Hopper: from dual GPU GPU cards to MCM
We've spent many years in which AMD or NVIDIA didn't launch a risky bet based on GPU graphics cards. In part there is a logical explanation, where most causes are market-focused on simple GPUs.
First, usage has been suggested. AMD has had problems with inadequate use / temperature / noise, something that has been slowed down RDNA, but NVIDIA continues to take the lead in this and the old lithographic process, which it still faces 300 watt TDP on custom models.
Second, support for SLI and CrossFire X stepped down instead Track Ray. Don't forget that the two best models are SLI's internal PCB despite the fact that the OS gets the card as a single chip. Still in need AFR and SFR to achieve proper function and consistent performance.
In the end, the final price of such a model can be huge, somehow unfair to the market today. So what exactly will Hipper offer? Obviously, the MCM GPU model, which is very similar to what AMD offers with its Ryzen, but is focused on graphics cards that use a lot of dies.
What benefits does the MCM design provide to GPUs?
The most sensible thing is that it offers a far greater disability than has been seen so far in terms of performance. It is true that like most deaths or with SLI, the scalability will not be linear or complete, but NVIDIA is already working on it with CFR, which we saw last week.
Which should give you a lower price for more powerful GPUs. Smaller chips mean significantly higher performance, fewer failures and, guessingly, higher frequency per death. This should allow the prices to be lower or more competitive, which is different from what we see with Thwala and his big one dies so it's very expensive to produce.
NVIDIA subscribers claim the Hipper version on December 4 of this month, exactly CFR They show that they are already working hard on the newcomer to Ampere and with the intention of fighting Intel with Xe and the way it's built.
So even before that, we should not wait for its forecasts until at least 2021, maybe finally,
