Tesla v100s, nvidia releases new variant of its data center gpu

NVIDIA announced a new series in Supercomputing, such as the design of an ARM reference server. Despite the fact that the show is the biggest event for high-performance computing and supercomputers, it is not usually the place where NVIDIA launches a GPU. However, there was seen a Tesla variant called Tesla V100S.

Tesla V100S is a mysterious new variant

The new GPU seen there is the Tesla V100S. Although NVIDIA was slated to unveil this new model at Supercompuing, many in attendance were surprised that CEO Jensen Huang did not mention it in his two-hour external presentation to the press and distributors.

However, NVIDIA partners had printed the billboards, built the screens, built the systems, and had not been told not to show it. The V100S will have a gold cover, unlike the V100. This is despite the fact that the gold cover units also say 'V100'.

Although the specifications of this new model have not been officially detailed, it was commented there that it would have a quick memory, referring to the HBM2 package. There is no data on exact frequencies, and presumably the effects on TDP. There may also be a price difference for anyone interested in these variants.

One idea is that NVIDIA may not advertise the V100S as a separate model, but as a faster memory version of the V100 and customers will have to check exactly what the memory frequency is when they purchase it, in the same way that Different consumer graphics cards may have different memory speeds. Its launch could take place in the coming months, as it appears to be in the validation stage.
