NVIDIA A100 Ampere benchmarked, is now the fastest GPU ever recorded – TweakTown

This is where Jules Urbach, the CEO of OTOY– a cloud graphics business well-known for its Octane Render software application, has actually benchmarked NVIDIAs brand-new A100 accelerator. The new Ampere-based NVIDIA A100 accelerator was benchmarked on OctaneBench– a benchmark developed to evaluate the performance in OctaneRender.
OTOY benchmarked the GA100-based card which consists of 6912 CUDA cores, and 40GB of super-fast HBM2 memory.
Ampere is around 43% faster than Turing in OctaneRender, whichs with RTX off. It will be excellent to see how those significantly tuned Tensor and RT Cores crank on the Ampere silicon, versus its Turing brethren.

NVIDIA announced its Ampere GPU architecture with the intro of the Ampere A100 accelerator earlier this year, the companys very first 7nm GPU– and likewise its first PCIe 4.0 card too. What good is a next generation GPU if it hasnt been benchmarked?

Traversal coprocessor: We have actually had more leaks on NVIDIAs next-gen GeForce RTX 3000 series than any family of graphics cards before it, with a fascinating “traversal coprocessor” on the new GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards. Freaking fast according to rumors, with 60-90% more efficiency than the existing Turing-based flagship GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Production begins quickly: NVIDIA is reportedly in the DVT (or Design Validation Test) range of its brand-new GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards.

Ive currently blogged about rumors that NVIDIAs next-gen Ampere GPU architecture would be up to 75% faster than current-gen GPUs such as the Turing architecture, right after rumors that Ampere would use 50% more performance at half the power of Turing. This is pretty crazy things right there.
Not just that, however weve got some rumored specs on the purported GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3070 graphics cards, which will both be powered by NVIDIAs new Ampere GPU architecture.
Weve already heard that Ampere would use 50% more performance at half the power of Turing, which sent the hairs on my neck standing. Even better, you can check out about the dripped specifications on the supposed Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3070 right here.

Traversal coprocessor: We have actually had more leakages on NVIDIAs next-gen GeForce RTX 3000 series than any household of graphics cards prior to it, with an interesting “traversal coprocessor” on the brand-new GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards. How fast is the GeForce RTX 3090? Freaking fast according to rumors, with 60-90% more performance than the existing Turing-based flagship GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Power starving: As for power consumption, GA102 supposedly uses 230W– while 24GB of GDDR6X (which we need to see on the brand-new Ampere-based TITAN RTX) takes in 60W of power. Production starts quickly: NVIDIA is apparently in the DVT (or Design Validation Test) range of its new GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards.
