Nvidia Ampere Tflops

With nvidia s first rtx 3000 cards arriving in weeks you can expect reviews to give you a firm idea of ampere performance soon.

Nvidia ampere tflops. Based upon the gaming and graphics variant of nvidia s ampere architecture and built on an optimized version of samsung s. Up to 19 5 tflops fp64 double precision via tensor core fp64 instruction support. We discuss price performance availability power and more in our in. Even now it feels safe to say that ampere represents a monumental.

So you see this is how nvidia is getting to those massive 30 tflop numbers from its new gpus but it also means that the number of shader tflops an ampere gpu is capable of does not quite reflect its gaming performance compared to turing or even pascal when using this measurement. At the heart of a100 is the nvidia ampere gpu architecture which contains more than 54 billion transistors making it the world s largest 7 nanometer processor. Nvidia s ampere architecture powers the rtx 30 series graphics cards bringing a massive boost in performance and capabilities. The nvidia ampere architecture introduces new support for tf32 enabling ai training to use tensor cores by default with no effort on the user s part.

19 5 tflops fp32 single precision floating point. Non tensor operations continue to use the fp32 datapath while tf32 tensor cores read fp32 data and use the same range as fp32 with reduced internal precision before producing a standard ieee fp32 output. Here s everything we know about the fundamental changes. It is named after french mathematician and physicist andré marie ampère.

Ampere a100 gpus began shipping in may 2020. 9 7 tflops fp64 double precision floating point performance. Nvidia announced the next generation geforce 30 series consumer gpus at a geforce special event on september 1 2020. Nvidia was testing some monstrous new pcie graphics cards late last year potentially from the nvidia ampere generation if the recently unearthed geekbench database entries are to be believed.
