AWS re:Invent 2023: 5 biggest announcements after day 2 keynote – Amazon Q, new AI chip, more

AWS re:Invent 2023: The annual flagship event of Amazon Web Service (AWS), re:Invent is currently underway. Yesterday, November 28, marked day 1 of the event, and during its opening keynote sessions AWS CEO Adam Selipsky made a number of new announcements and updates. The day 2 keynote session has also wrapped up with a couple more announcements coming along the way. There is a distinct artificial intelligence (AI) focus in the event that is being hosted in Las Vegas. The event will run through December 1 and we expect…

Why Nvidia’s new GPU performs worse than integrated graphics

Geekerwan One might think that a GPU that costs over $40,000 is going to be the best graphics card for gaming, but the truth is a lot more complex than that. In fact, this Nvidia GPU can’t even keep up with integrated graphics solutions. Now, before you get too upset, you should know I’m referring to Nvidia’s H100, which houses the GH100 chip (Grace Hopper). It’s a powerful data center GPU made to handle high-performance computing (HPC) tasks — not power PC games. It doesn’t have any display outputs, and despite its…

Nvidia tweaks flagship H100 chip for export to China as H800

Nvidia Corp, the U.S. semiconductor designer that dominates the market for artificial intelligence (AI) chips, said it has modified its flagship product into a version that is legal to export to China. U.S. regulators last year put into place rules that stopped Nvidia from selling its two most advanced chips, the A100 and newer H100, to Chinese customers citing national security concerns. Such chips are crucial to developing generative AI technologies like OpenAI's ChatGPT and similar products. Reuters in November…

Nvidia Allegedly Shifts RTX 4090 Production Over to H100 Hopper GPUs

Nvidia has reportedly shifted some orders to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. from GeForce RTX 4090 over to H100 compute processors based on the Hopper architecture. While the information comes from Mydrivers and we could not verify it at press time, there are factors that support the report. It could be a result of the U.S. sanctions of China's supercomputer sector. Nvidia’s latest gaming and high performance computing (HPC) chips are made using TSMC's customized process technology called 4N, as opposed to…

Oracle Buys Tens of Thousands of Nvidia A100, H100 GPUs

Oracle on Tuesday announced plans to deploy tens of thousands of Nvidia's top-of-the-range A100 and H100 compute GPUs to its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The A100 and H100 GPUs will be available for Oracle's cloud customers for their AI workloads enabled by Nvidia's AI software. The deal's exact terms remain behind closed doors, but we are talking about a transaction worth hundreds of millions of dollars.The new collaboration between Nvidia and Oracle will make AI training, computer vision, data processing, deep…

U.S. Export Rules May Cost Nvidia $400 Million, Prevent Completion of H100 Development

Nvidia said late on Thursday that the recently announced U.S. export rules require the company to obtain an export license to sell high-performance graphics processors to China. On the one hand, these new policies might already cost the company some $400 million in sales this quarter. On the other hand, this may promptly prevent the completion of H100 development, which will further affect sales of the company’s data center products.“On August 26, 2022, the U.S. government, or USG, informed Nvidia that the USG has…

Nvidia Switches Gears, Chooses Sapphire Rapids for DGX H100

Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has announced the company will be making a complete transition to Intel processors (opens in new tab) for its upcoming DGX H100 unit and supercomputer projects in the future. Nvidia will be using Intel's forthcoming Rapids Sapphire Xeon processor lineup as a total replacement for AMD's Zen 3 EPYC CPU, which Nvidia has been using extensively for years.Huang says the primary reason for switching CPU brands was the exceptional single-threaded performance Sapphire Rapids offers over the…

Nvidia’s Hopper H100 SXM5 Pictured: Monstrous GPU Has Brutal VRM Config

Modern compute GPUs are tailored to deliver incredible performance at any cost, so their power consumption and cooling requirements are pretty enormous. Nvidia's latest H100 compute GPU based on the Hopper architecture can consume up to 700W in a bid to deliver up to 60 FP64 Tensor TFLOPS, so it was clear from the start that we were dealing with a rather monstrous SXM5 module design. Yet, Nvidia has never demonstrated it up and close. Our colleagues from ServeTheHome, who were lucky enough to visit one of Nvidia's…

Nvidia H100 Chip Unveiled, Touted as ‘Engine’ of AI Infrastructure

Nvidia's graphic chips (GPU), which initially helped propel and enhance the quality of videos in the gaming market, have become the dominant chips for companies to use for AI workloads. The latest GPU, called the H100, can help reduce computing times from weeks to days for some work involving training AI models, the company said.The announcements were made at Nvidia's AI developers conference online."Data centres are becoming AI factories — processing and refining mountains of data to produce intelligence," said Nvidia…
