However, the upcoming H100 GPU is designed for data centers. Expect Nvidia to talk about next-gen consumer graphics cards later this year.
Nvidia has announced a new GPU for data centers that may hint at what the company has in store for next-generation PC graphics cards. The GPU is called the H100 and it’s built using the latest 4-nanometer manufacturing process from Taiwan’s TSMC, enabling Nvidia to pack more transistors on the silicon. In contrast, the current RTX 3000 series uses an 8-nanometer process from Samsung. The other notable feature to the H100 is how it supports PCIe Gen 5 for faster data transfer speeds. Nvidia also developed a new “Hopper” architecture for the H100, which is designed to accelerate AI -base workloads, such as rendering 3D simulations or training machine learning algorithms. The end product promises to outperform the company’s last enterprise GPU from two years ago, the A100, by sometimes three or six times, depending on the task.
