NVIDIA Making CPUs, New RTX A5000 & A6000 GPUs, & Deep Learning

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
NVIDIA announced its new CPU today, a collaboration with ARM yielding the Grace CPU. The company is also releasing new RTX GPUs (the A4000, A5000, A6000). NVIDIA's GTC 2021 conference saw the unveil of a series of new GPUs for professionals and data center applications, but all of these were overshadowed by NVIDIA's renewed interest in the CPU space. NVIDIA has been trying to purchase ARM since 2020 (currently pending regulatory approval), and in the meantime, the two organizations are working together to produce the new NVIDIA Grace CPU for data center and server applications. The NVIDIA Grace CPU aims to improve bandwidth of CPU-to-GPU communications and CPU-to-CPU communications, outperforming traditional PCIe signaling with NVIDIA's NVLink. The GPUs announced are part of the former Quadro line, branding that NVIDIA is slowly moving away from. The A5000 and A4000 GPUs are in the high-end of Ampere RTX cards, with mobile versions also available in Max-Q laptops. Separately from all of this, NVIDIA talked more about its Omniverse software and a few RTX games, including Black Myth: Wukong, Boundary, Narak: Bladepoint, and Bright Memory. Cyberpunk also got a comically short pseudo-reference. Dave: The last time Nvidia stepped beyond their graphics realm it ended in Lawsuits against them from investors and customers and Partner companies in the notebook scene, Yay Nforce chipsets with bad thermals detaching from boards under thermal shock, And everyone remembers their hack to cheat on benchmarking right.
Never forget that these company's are scum and needed to be reminded.

I can't be the only one who thinks maybe Nvidia blew their load a little early here, we're starting to get hints why Nvidia owning ARM could be a little dangerous - whilst it'll be great to get an alternative CPU arch that is actually viable via being backed hard in the desktop/server neither AMD nor Intel control either the CPU or GPU space, Nvidia could take over a vast swath of it and cut competitors out fairly cleanly and quickly. I can see why aside from the UK/ARM thing why regulators might be a little nervous. You want to say yay, competition and options but there's a serious risk that you're saying bye-bye Intel and AMD .

So the A4000 with 6144 CUDA cores is basically the upcoming 3070 Ti, but clocked slower with 16GB ram, also clocked slower. So there is literally no point to this card unless you need double precision for Solidworks or scientific imaging - all other professional apps will run faster on a regular 3070 Ti for half the price.
Same for the A5000 and A6000 which in GPU rendering or content creation are both destroyed by a 3090 for half the price.
So happy they gave 10 bit color to GeForce so I don't need those shit slow cards anymore

Something interesting to note about the supercomputer they annouced with their Grace CPUs is that they say 50 AI exaflops which should be FP16. So this computer should be, roughly, around 5 Exaflops. This would be around the power of the exascale machines coming up: Aurora from Intel (2022 ), Frontier from AMD (2020-2021) and El Capitan also from AMD (2022-2023). It seems that nvidia getting none of the DOE exascale contracts took it personally and decided to its own super computer

I first noticed the seeming retirement of the Quadro brand when I was looking at the Ampere microarchitecture article on Wikipedia, where it stated Nvidia Workstation GPUs (formerly Quardo) . At the time I was taken aback a bit, and the article didn't include a link to the change in naming. We need to bear in mind that these articles on Wikipedia are often edited by people affiliated with the subject matters themselves.

Doesn t this indicate that (Ada) Lovelace would be the codename for the RTX 4000 series? I d guess so
The switch pro is also to be rumoured featuring Ada Lovelace components and such, so I d take a guess that it d come out in late 2021 or early 2022..
dies will probably be named LL-108 / LP-108
Also tells me that the switch pro would have some GPU horsepower
this is all speculation
and i m not a leaker

I really like the look of the new modmat. I cant wait till mine arrives. The only thing I dont like is that I wont be able to hang it on the wall. Im sure not many people will agree, but I think a poster version would be really cool. You could remove the gpu outline grid, and just add more information. Its the information, and the way you simplify it that interests me the most.

I saw this Nvidia CPU coming years ago, of course it was inevitable. Undoubtedly performance will be awesome binding with a Nvidia GPU of course, but Nvidia WILL make you upgrade entire platform in every generation. Jensen is a man of business, hopefully he will handle it nicely.

its what we always wanted more choice and competition...more content for you Y tuber's, and moore's law not being held back as much by marketing....imagine what a waste its gonna be for companies to release pointless products that don't have solid places and scenarios

For the bandwidth between CPU and GPU, or Host-to-Device, it's almost always the bottleneck in scientific calculations not being natively written for GPUs. So having a lot of it allows developpers not to rewrite their entire code to mask these copy times.
