The rumor mill has begun grinding with particulars about NVIDIA’s next-gen graphics processors based mostly on the “Lovelace” structure, with Kopite7kimi (a dependable supply with NVIDIA leaks) predicting a 71% enhance in shader models for the “AD102” GPU that succeeds the “GA102,” with 12 GPCs holding 6 TPCs (12 SMs), every. 3DCenter.org extrapolates on this to foretell a CUDA core rely of 18.432 unfold throughout 144 streaming multiprocessors, which at a theoretical 1.80 GHz core clock may put out an FP32 compute throughput of round 66 TFLOP/s.
The timing of this leak is attention-grabbing, because it’s solely three months into the market cycle of “Ampere.” NVIDIA seems unsettled with AMD RDNA2 being aggressive with “Ampere” on the fanatic section, and might be bringing in its successor, “Lovelace” (after Ada Lovelace), out prior to anticipated. Its earlier technology “Turing” structure noticed market presence for shut to 2 years. “Lovelace” may leverage the 5 nm silicon fabrication course of and its considerably increased transistor density, to step up efficiency.
