Like five GeForce RTX 3090s in one. Top Nvidia Hopper GPU Could Have 140 Billion Transistors

According to recent data, Nvidia’s top-end next-generation GPU can get 140 billion transistors.

This will supposedly be the senior graphics processor of the Hopper line. It will probably be called the GH100, but that’s just a guess.

Like five GeForce RTX 3090s in one.  Top Nvidia Hopper GPU Could Have 140 Billion Transistors

140 billion transistors is an incredible amount. For comparison, the GA100 consists of 54 billion transistors, and even the two-chip AMD Aldebaran has 58 billion. That is, in fact, Nvidia will increase the GPU in one generation by about three times. Compared with the GA102 GPU with its 28.3 billion transistors is simply terrible. But, of course, while this is unconfirmed information.

In addition, there is a lot of conflicting data regarding the top-end GPU Hopper. Initially, it was said that it would be a dual-chip GPU for specialized accelerators only. Then they began to say that due to the huge power of the Navi 31 GPU, Nvidia would have to add Hopper accelerators to the GeForce line, since solutions based on Ada Lovelace would not be able to compete with AMD’s new products. Recently, they began to say that the GH100 will be a monolithic crystal with an area of ​​\u200b\u200babout 1000 mm2. But here it is worth noting that, probably, it simply cannot physically be like that, since EUV technology limits the size of the chip to 858 mm2.
