A GPU with 20% more surface area than the GA100 of the best graphics cards
signed NVIDIA.
From March 21 to 24, the GPU Technology Conference. An event that should be an opportunity for NVIDIA to present Hopper, its next architecture dedicated to the most massive computers. For its part, the Lovelace architecture would be intended for the graphics cards of our “small” machines.
One die 1000 mm²
According to the information published by Kopite7kimi, the Hopper architecture will be based on the GH100 GPU, the area of which could be enormous: we are talking about 1,000 mm² when the GA100 and GA102 of the Ampere architecture occupy “only” 826 mm² and 628 mm².
Kopite7kimi however very quickly tempers things by specifying that the die should be significantly reduced. However, it will be much larger than the GA100 and we also learn that there could be two different designs for Hopper: the GH100 in monolithic, in other words a single block chip, and the GH102 in MCM, multi chips.
Of course, this is only very preliminary information, to be taken with due hindsight and the same goes for this indication of a barely believable TDP of 1,000 Watts.
