Nvidia A100 Tsmc

54 billion transistors 40gb hbm2 7nm tsmc nvidia makes its next gen a100 gpu official.

Nvidia a100 tsmc. Ga100 supports directx 12 ultimate feature level 12 2. The ga100 based a100 tensor core gpu has 7 gpcs for 108 sms and 6912 fp32 cuda cores per gpu we ll first see the ga100 gpu in the a100 tensor core gpu which will be a part of nvidia s newly. Not easy to cancel. For gpu compute applications opencl version 2 0 and cuda 8 0 can be used.

Either way i think nvidia is probably competent enough to move it s design between fabs easily enough. Rtx 30 gpus will be joining the pro grade gpus on tsmc 7nm. This design trade off maximizes overall deep learning performance of the gpu by focusing more of the power budget on fp16 tensor cores and other deep learning specific features like sparsity and tf32. The a100 represents a jump from the tsmc 12nm process node down to the tsmc 7nm process node.

The thing is nvidia went with tsmc n7 for ampere a100 so it s mostly a question of price and capacity i think. Nvidia ampere a100 specs. With a die size of 826 mm and a transistor count of 54 200 million it is a very big chip. The latest in nvidia s line of dgx servers the dgx 100 is a complete system that incorporates 8 a100 accelerators as well as 15 tb of storage dual amd rome 7742 cpus 64c each 1 tb of ram.

Nvidia s ga100 gpu uses the ampere architecture and is made using a 7 nm production process at tsmc. Built on samsung 8nm not tsmc 7nm say hello to the asus geforce rtx 3080 ti rog strix maybe nvidia s new a100 pcie accelerator. On the 2nd note while it may not be possible to move the rtx 3090 3080 3070 to tsmc for manufacturing contract reasons. On the first note nvidia has already designed a100 for tsmc 7nm so moving a102 to tsmc may not be that hard.

Nvidia contracts manufacturing in advance probably its covered for a year at least. No but a100 is on 7nm tsmc but it s a much different chip. The world s largest 7nm processor. Nvidia s ampere geforce rtx rumor.

Clearly the a100 is the price doesn t even matter market segment. Professional nvidia ampere gpus currently.
