We saw it in the geekbench database a few days agoTwo unpublished NVIDIA GPU coresThere are 118 computing units and 108 computing units respectively, which are suspected to be the next-generation ampere architecture. If each unit is still 64 stream processors (CUDA core), there are 7552 and 6912 stream processors respectively.

They are matched with 24GB and 48gb ram respectively. It can be judged that the latter is almost certainly a Tesla or Quadro professional card. The former may be a top-level Tesla, and it cannot be ruled out that it is RTX 3080 ti.

According to the practice of NVIDIA's new architecture in recent years, we have reason to believe that 118 units are not all of it,128 is the more reasonable number, which corresponds to 8192 stream processors.

Sure enough,In the geekbench database, NVIDIA GPUs with 124 computing units appear. According to 64 stream processors per unit, there are 7936 in total, reaching 8K level!

It is matched with 32GB video memory, almost certainly hbm2e, naturally belonging to Tesla Professional Computing card family.

Obviously, NVIDIA is testing the cores of different scales. It's hard to say which one will be selected finally. It depends on the specific performance and the yield and cost. I hope it will be the 124 unit version.

It is worth mentioning that the number of stream processors in each unit of NVIDIA architecture is not the same. In Kepler era, there are 192, Maxwell is reduced to 128, and Pascal is only fixed to 64 at the beginning.

Of course, Volta is already an 84 unit, 5376 current processor, and amperes can only be more, but not less. 64 per unit is still the most logical, and the total increase of 48 words is very small (unless the architecture efficiency is greatly improved).

NVIDIA GTC 2020 developer conference will be held on 22-26 of this month as scheduled, but only transferred to the online。 NVIDIA often publishes new architecture and new core at this conference, such as the introduction of Volta in 2017, but there is no new core in the next two years. Now is the time.

Yes, of course,Even if the conference announces a new structure and a new card, nearly 100% of the conference will be Tesla. As for the legendary RTX 3080 Ti, it is almost impossible to officially announce it at this time. Generally, it will be in the second half of the year, and the current epidemic is serious. There are still a large number of stocks of RTX 20 and GTX 16 series to be digested, and the new generation is more likely to be further delayed.
