Hopper, nvidia registers its next-generation gpu brand

Some time ago, the first rumors emerged about Hopper, the new generation of Nvidia GPUs. This is no longer a rumor and is strictly in leak territory, although the only thing confirmed at this point is the code name: Hopper.

Hopper is the next generation of Nvidia GPUs

Nvidia appears to have registered the Hopper name, along with another code name called Aerial. Registered trademarks appeared at the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

It is said that the generation of Hopper GPUs could use MCM technology to revolutionize the world of GPUs, using several cores combined instead of a single chip as before. This is similar to what is already happening in the CPU market, with AMD as one of the top drivers.

Nvidia's Hopper architecture name is based on Grace Hopper, who was one of the pioneers of computing and one of the first Harvard Mark 1 programmers, and also the inventor of the first linkers. It also popularized the idea of ​​machine-independent programming languages, leading to the development of COBOL, a high-level programming language that is still in use today. He enlisted in the Navy and assisted in the efforts of the American War during World War II.

An MCM-based design is possibly the next step in the evolution of the GPU, considering that we are now limited by the size of the node. Architectural improvements and MCM design are the next logical frontier, and since AMD has already used it on the CPU front, it makes sense that GPUs are the next step in their grand plan, which would explain why NVIDIA he would want to take the lead in all of this and beat them all. The leak occurred from a well-known Twitter account and the tweets have been deleted, but not before the Twitterati discovered and published about it (on 3DCenter.org).

We will see what happens, at this moment, Nvidia is developing the Ampere architecture for next year, so Hopper could only appear in 2021 or beyond. We will keep you informed.
