I suppose the only reason you'd want that, if as you point out the chips aren't any faster, is to reduce noise in systems with 100s or 1000s of LSI chips?I've seen 5V power supplies with 100s of amps for nutty systems like that.I guess that once MSI and LSI started appearing ...
I/O for chips come from the chip's edges, and two of the four edges of Nvidia GPUs are dedicated to HBM, according to Patel and Ontiveros. That leaves two edges for connectivity, where Nvidia is more likely to choose its own NVLink and NVLink-C2C -- an interconnect to ...
Nvidia and AMD are known to be voracious for high bandwidth memory chips, but there are other players in the highly competitive AI market who might be keen to snap up HBM stock to avoid being left high...
Surviving the end of chip scarcity.Pricing for cloud providers, and for Nvidia itself, has been supported by scarce supplies of the most desirable GPUs. One provider told us that the list price for A100s has actuallyincreasedsince launch, which is highly unusual for compute hardware. When this...
