News Nvidia Exploring Various Multi-Chip GPU Designs

[Admin]

Nvidia is researching various design principles for Multi Chip Module (MCM) designs. Thought to be the next step for the future of computing, the technology aims to do the same for GPUs that AMD's Zen design did for CPUs.

Yeah, they need to "explore" harder because AMD already shipped their server MCM GPUs and soon™, later this year Radeon will have RDNA3 gaming GPUs with MCM and still nvidia will be on monolithic design. Good times.

“This gives us a bunch of technologies on the shelf that at some point in time,” says Dally, “if it became economically the right thing to do to, assemble GPUs from multiple chiplets, we basically have de-risked the technology. Now it’s a tool in the toolbox for a GPU designer.” "

"Of course, being smaller, these chips should also present better thermals and power efficiency than their larger brethren... "

Article quality has degraded markedly as of late. Die size does not affect power efficiency. Nor does it improve thermals, if those smaller chiplets are combined into an equivalent-sized package. NVidia's COPA is about flexibility and yields, nothing more.

there are interesting read at next plaform. it seems going forward nvidia might end up making two type of compute card. one for HPC and one for AI. then nvidia will optimize the design based on it's need (HPC or AI) . although the next platform said the industry want one chip solution that is exceptional at both HPC and AI task.
