Nvidia’s Ampere A100 HPC upgraded GPU will be even faster than the original models

Nvidia’s Ampere A100 is undoubtedly the company’s fastest GPU and the latest reports claim that the manufacturer of the graphics is planning to make its GPU even faster with twice the memory capacity and record-breaking memory bandwidth.

Last year the green team introduced its NVIDIA A100 HPC accelerator and now the company is planning to give it a major spec upgrade. The chip, based on NVIDIA’s Ampere A100 GPU, houses an insane 54 billion transistors.

Coming to the specifications, the A100 PCIe GPU accelerator retains the specifications as the 250W variant with 6912 CUDA cores arranged in 108 SM units, 432 Tensor Cores, and 80 GB of HBM2e memory. It has a bandwidth of 2.0 TB/s.

Speaking on the performance side, the FP64 is rated at 9.7/19.5 TFLOPs, FP32 performance is rated at 19.5 /156/312 TFLOPs (Sparsity), FP16 performance is rated at 312/624 TFLOPs (Sparsity), and finally, the INT8 is rated at 624/1248 TOPs (Sparsity). The latest HPC accelerator will be released next week and the price is estimated to be over $20,000 US.
