The Nvidia “Pascal” GP100 has three times the computing power of the Geforce GTX Titan

After a record long time on the same manufacturing technology, it is in 2016 that Nvidia and AMD take the step away from 28 nanometers. While AMD has chosen 14 nanometers from Samsung and Globalfoundries, Nvidia is expected to go for 16 nanometers from TSMC, but common to both is doubled transistor density and energy efficiency.

A presentation from Nvidia is now published for the upcoming architecture Pascal, where it appears that the computing power goes up significantly compared to before. At single precision, as many as 12,000 GFLOPS and double precision 4,000 GFLOPs are specified, the last of which is no less than three times up from Geforce GTX Titan and GTX Titan Black.

Perhaps more interesting is that the performance at single precision is more than twice as high compared to Nvidia’s current flagship Geforce GTX Titan X. It is also worth mentioning that the theoretical performance can be even higher for a consumer variant of the GP100 graphics circuit, as computing cards generally have lower clock frequencies than regular Geforce graphics card.

At the same time, it is mentioned that the memory bandwidth amounts to 1,024 GB / s, something that is consistent with previous information that Nvidia uses the HBM2 memory technology. The launch of the Pascal architecture is expected to take place during the second half of 2016.
