Today they were not only shared by Jensen to WCCFTech the details regarding theNVIDIA H100 Hopper next generation of the company, but creative plans have also been shown that will attempt to stop cryptocurrency miners exploiting GPUs once and for all. With the arrival of its new RTX 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti cards very close, NVIDIA is now planning an architecture based on MCM call Hopper and the full presentation just leaked this morning.
The GPU in question will be the first to cross the 100 billion transistor mark. The GPU die shot shows 42 GPC on each die for a total of 84, each containing 4 SM with 128 CUDA core each. This results in a whopping total of 43008 CUDA cores. If NVIDIA can also reach 1700 MHz on this beauty, you would get a raw graphics power of 146 TFLOP.
Jensen also suggested that the amount of power of Ray Tracing on this GPU is enough to run a full game in 1080p which can be expanded to 4k with DLSS X. Current player implementations rely on shaders and polygons. Achieving playable 1080 performance on an entirely raytraced scene would have been considered impossible just a few years ago.
The two GPUs on the Hopper H100 are packaged using the technology J-Stack, which is NVIDIA's proprietary stacking technology. It appears to be a multidimensional packaging approach we've seen in other GPUs before and would allow the company to stack more molds with ease. The card will use HBM4, which is much cheaper to manufacture and will actually reduce the cost of memory for the customer.
NVIDIA has a foolproof way to counter the miners: they are partnering with Steam e epic Games to allow GPU in-store purchases for verified accounts. This is a very good strategy to eliminate most of the muzzle, the scalping and to the hack. The company said it will initially require an account with at least 2 years of existence and that it has had a minimum annual activity level to purchase them.
