Not only were details shared by Jensen at WCCFTech today regarding the company’s next-generation NVIDIA H100 Hopper , creative plans were also shown that will attempt to stop cryptocurrency miners exploiting GPUs once and for all. . With the arrival of its new RTX 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti cards very close , NVIDIA is now planning an MCM -based architecture called the Hopper and the full presentation just leaked this morning.

The GPU in question will be the first to cross the 100 billion transistor mark. The GPU die shot shows 42 GPCs on each die for a total of 84, each containing 4 SMs with 128 CUDA cores each. This results in a whopping 43008 CUDA cores total . If NVIDIA can even reach 1700 MHz on this beauty, that would result in raw graphics power of 146 TFLOP.

Jensen also suggested that the amount of ray tracing power on this GPU is enough to run a full game in 1080p that can be expanded to 4k with DLSS X. Current player implementations rely on shaders and polygons. Achieving playable 1080 performance on an entirely raytraced scene would have been considered impossible just a few years ago.

The two GPUs on the Hopper H100 are packaged using J-Stack technology , which is NVIDIA’s proprietary stacking technology. It appears to be a multidimensional packaging approach we’ve seen in other GPUs before and would allow the company to stack multiple molds with ease. The board will use HBM4 , which is much cheaper to manufacture and will actually reduce the cost of memory for the customer.

NVIDIA has a surefire way to thwart miners: They are partnering with Steam and Epic Games to allow GPU in-store purchases for verified accounts. This is a very good strategy for killing most bots , scalping and hacks . The company said it will initially require an account with at least 2 years of existence and that it has had a minimum annual activity level to purchase them.
