News from Computex Taipei is already coming in since the pandemic disallowed the event to be public. Now in the 2023 edition and an in-public return, the conversation about artificial intelligence continues with Nvidia.
New CPU for Critical Missions and High Performance Computing
Besides gaming, Nvidia is his for supercomputers, servers and business hardware solution and in Computex Taipei, their big offering comes with Nvidia’s GH200 Grace Hopper, which boosts 4 PetaFLOPS TE, 72 Arm CPUs connected by chip-to-chip link, 96GB HBM3 and 576 GPU memory.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described it as the world’s first accelerated computing processor that also has a giant memory: “this is a computer, not a chip.” It is designed for high-resilience data center applications.
A 8 Grace connected-like setup called the DGX GH200 will also be offered with three NVLINK Switches, then connecting the pods together at 900GB. Then finally, 32 are joined together, with another layer of switches, to connect a total of 256 Grace Hopper chips. The resulting ExaFLOPS Transformer Engine has 144 TB GPU memory and functions as a giant GPU.
Nvidia said that this is aimed for company stacking development and deployment of the 5G environment.
Of course the keynote contained association and partnership with different companies that includes Softbank, WPP, Spectrum, ARM and indirectly with ASRock Rack, Asus, Gigabyte, Pegatron, QCT and Supermicro.
RTX GeForce 4080 Ti is coming
For us gamers, the big news are two, and the first one is that we are bound for the RTX GeForce 4080 Ti soon as production for the upscaled version of the GeForce 4080 is already in production.
No release date was given, but I would not be surprised if this GPU is set to celebrate Lovelace Architecture first anniversary in Fall 2023.
Finally, Nvidia gave the world a glimpse of what it might be like when gaming and AI collide — with a graphically breathtaking rendering of a cyberpunk ramen shop where you can actually talk to the proprietor.
Seriously, instead of clicking on dialogue options, it imagines you could hold down a button, just say something with your own voice, and get an answer from a video game character. Nvidia’s calling it a “peek at the future of games.”
AI is in for the stay and Nvidia’s reaching the $1 trillion value mark per stock today is a good example as last week’s earning reports, lal the positives weighted on business related with AI, this includes topping the GPU/Gaming business.
