Nvidia DGX-1 With Tesla V100 Spotted in GeekBench With Staggering Numbers
Back in May Nvidia announced its Testla Volta V100 processor with Tensor architecture. The companies TSMC’s 12nm finfet process bakes graphics processor has 5120 shader processors activated out of a total of 5376 cores. Scores surfaced in geekbench, and they are impressive.
So a fully enabled GV100 GPU actually consists of six GPCs, 84 Volta SMs, 42 TPCs (each including two SMs), and eight 512-bit memory controllers (4096 bits total). Each SM has 64 FP32 Cores, 64 INT32 Cores, 32 FP64 Cores, and 8 new Tensor Cores. Each SM also includes four texture units.
With 84 SMs, a full GV100 GPU thus has a total of 5376 FP32 cores, 5376 INT32 cores, 2688 FP64 cores, 672 Tensor Cores, and 336 texture units. Each memory controller is attached to 768 KB of L2 cache, and each HBM2 DRAM stack is controlled by a pair of memory controllers. The full GV100 GPU includes a total of 6144 KB of L2 cache. The figure in above table shows a full GV100 GPU with 84 SMs (different products can use different configurations of GV100). The Tesla V100 accelerator uses 80 SMs.
Now then, the Nvidia DGX-1 unit with Tesla V100 Spotted in GeekBench has 5,120 shader processors. For the record, a DGX-1 setup currently costs roughlt 129K and houses eight Tesla V100 cards, two Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors, 512GB DDR4, four 1.92TB SSDs in RAID 0 and a power supply of more than three kilowatt. So let's call it what it is, a super computer in a box.
An entry was spotted in Geekbench 4, both with OpenCL and CUDA APIs. Where Tesla P100 systems scores up-to 320,000 points, the DGX-1 reached 481,504 points at OpenCL and 746,537 points using the CUDA API. The numbers are just staggering.

Nvidia drops 3 and 4-way SLI mode starting with GeForce 1000 series - 06/09/2016 05:34 PM
We already shared a thing or two on this topic in the Pascal GPU reviews. Initially Nvidia would allow 3 and 4-way SLI mode with a enthusiast driver key. As it seems though, Nvidia is abandoning that ...
NVIDIA Demos Zero Latency Display Running at 1700Hz - 04/08/2016 08:34 AM
Nvidia is demonstrating a display that holds a true refresh-rate of 1700Hz. It is a prototype called zero latency display and it can display imagery stable even when shaking the screen, handy for VR....
Nvidia demos prototype lightfield VR glasses - 01/25/2016 04:32 PM
At the Virtual Reality exhibit in LA Nvidia is showing a prototype of their vr-glasses in development based on lightfield technology. The company is working together with Stanford university on this p...
Nvidia drops Samsung and uses TSMC for Pascal - 09/17/2015 08:53 AM
So we already mentioned would very likely be made on TSMC 16nm FiNFET. The target release date for this GPU is 2016. The product would be released as GP100 and will be the succesor to the GM200 series...
Nvidia Disables Overclocking for Series 900 Mobile GPUs - 02/12/2015 06:53 PM
Nvidia once again managed to irritate a lot of people, this time the latest driver update disables overclocking for the mobile Series 900. Until recently these parts could be overclocked....

Great chip, but very unlikely to see a gaming card based on it anytime soon.
It's simply way too expensive to manufacture. A Volta gaming card would be 1600 $ minimum.
Stick to your 1070, 1080 and 1080Ti or whatever else you (we) have, because those are the only toys to play with until probably late 2018
We still need something to run those 4K/120Hz monitors that are being released
A 1080Ti (or even two) simply won't cut it.

I want OLED, HDR, HLG, Dolby-Vision and 0 latency - no point buying a new monitor unless I got that on board. No point at all.
Kinda tired of incremental upgrades - I want it all, and am willing to wait patiently for it.
This whole round of CPU and GPU that's been going on since...Sandybridge? hasn't really had much of difference. I'm liking the future and I welcome it, but until then, this is mostly posturing by CPU and GPU manufacturers.
Except for this.
This looks like things are changing, but the cost is the big no-no for me, and the lack of OLED - yet teevee OLED's drop like 60% in the first year, which is amazing (LG B7 range is a steal right now!) and hopefully will push more companies to offer smaller panels for desktop usage, the demand is there for a 24-27 inch OLED desktop 4K HDR monitor, just waiting for it to happen...

It's just a matter of time before a gaming variant of this comes out with maybe gddr5x/6 or 2 stacks of hbm2 And without the tensor core stuff

Yeah. Since Vega can only compete with Pascal up to 1080 and can't even challenge 1080Ti, unless there's some very special case, Nvidia folks ought not to be in any hurry and pressure to replace the Pascal consumer line. They can take their time to ponder their options and choose the best approach for both themselves (financially) and the consumers (since GPUs have always been showing generational progress, unlike CPUs).
