Ampere will eventually replace Nvidia’s Turing and Volta chips with a single platform that streamlines Nvidia’s GPU lineup, Huang said in a pre-briefing with media members Wednesday. While consumers largely know Nvidia for its videogame hardware, the first launches with Ampere are aimed at AI needs in the cloud and for research.
“Unquestionably, it’s the first time that we’ve unified the acceleration workload of the entire data center into one single platform,” Huang said.
Both Ampere Tesla and Ampere GeForce will have different configurations. Tesla is likely to focus on compute oriented calculations (FP8/FP16 and FP64), while gaming series can benefit from faster FP16/32 cores. Jensen confirmed that the architecture will remain the same, but GPU configurations will be different for both markets.
