The first step in building NVIDIA always starts with the technical aspects, where their GPUs are used very quickly because of the business requirements.
For now it won't be different, but it's amazing how NVIDIA has introduced its new PC to the world, where you can say that «just got out of the ovenIn fact.
NVIDIA Tesla A100 HGX-2, a new HPC computer
Although the video is really short, there are many things that can be done with it. Starting with minor issues Huang looks set to take out the tray in the oven. This is due to the weight of the complete system, which is estimated at the new generation Tesla A100 HGX-2 more 22 Kg.
The reasons for such a weight, heatsinks aside, are that NVIDIA systems incorporate a metal plate as a base that keeps us strong.
An in-depth analysis shown in the video, is clear on how the new A100 incorporates high heatsinks into NVSwitch.
This could indicate (likely to see a leak yesterday) that NVIDIA is moving on PCIe 4.0 and as a result they will need better cooling due to greater bandwidth and higher maximum utilization.
And that it goes from heatsinks with three heating pipes to the most populous and up to 10 heat pipes, a big change in thermal performance without a doubt.
NVIDIA NVLink 3.0? It is more than possible
If there is something NVIDIA demonstrates to achieve the internal bandwidth between its GPUs it increases every time it presents itself. In this case also because of PCIe 4.0 it could mean that NVSwitches includes a new version of NVIDIA communication: NVLink 3.0.
The vision tells us it will go away 300 GB / s until 600 GB / sAs NVIDIA tends to be rated twice per generation. As for the heatsinks itself, the latest versions can support up to 400 watts per GPU, so we expect no less than this figure at this time, as it seems that usage will remain stable at Ampere or significantly increased in performance.
The system used looks very similar to that of previous generations, where the design of each heatsink is highly appreciated, even though it's given a nice touch, so there's no suggestion that there will be any major changes here.
As for availability, NVIDIA will provide concrete information tomorrow, but guess shows that this is Tesla A100 HGX-2 It will arrive by the end of the year, shortly after its previous version with Volta turning 3 years into the market, figures that often accompany the company and yet have indicated that they will replace all the roasted meat.
