We have previously discussed the existence of a new GPU based on NVIDIA's Pascal GP102 that was being designed exclusively for cryptocurrency mining. It seems that the rumors are going to turn out to be true, according to leaks from Inno3D.
NVIDIA prepares P102-100 chip based on Pascal GP102
The leak comes from the crypto-currency blog (cryptomining-blog.com) that has revealed that NVIDIA P102-100 specific graphics cards for mining will soon hit the market. A specific variant has been completely detailed, which appears to be a card made by Inno3D.
Previously, we had heard of rumors that NVIDIA would upgrade its GP102, but this does not appear to be the case. The GPU P102-100 is based on the GPU GP102 and comes with a new trimmed core, intended for cryptocurrency miners. The specs are different from what we've seen on previous GP102 cards, so let's take a look to see what we found.
Inno3D P102-100 Specifications:
- GPU: P102-100 CUDA cores: 3200 Base clock: 1582 MHz Memory clock: 11 Gbps VRAM memory size: 5 GB Memory type: GDDR5X Memory bandwidth: 320-bit Bus support speed: PCIe Gen1 x4 Size card length: 21.5 cm length, 12.5 cm height, dual slot Maximum TDP: 250 watts Power connectors: 2x 8-pin PCI-E
The NVIDIA P102-100 'GP102' GPU includes some 3, 200 CUDA cores that are programmed at a base frequency of 1582 MHz (no higher frequency mentioned). The graphics card comes with 5 GB of GDDR5X memory at 11 with a 320-bit memory bus. This means that we are getting 400 GB / s of bandwidth from this card.
As they say, you can get a speed of 47 MH / s on Ethereum with this graphics card.
