NVIDIA H100 SXM Hopper GPU Pictured Up Close

[mashie]

I still don't understand how this device is connected... I don't even see the pins for the electrical source...

The connectors are covered in electrical tape in the second picture.

This is how a server for the previous SXM4 based generation of these look like, you can fit 8 of these GPU's in the sockets at the bottom (not the PCIe slots):

Is Hopper like Volta, that it's aimed completely for professional use?


Maybe it's wireless?

They already told me that the connector is hidden by the black band... there are also some images of how they go on the server... something unusual

It's rackmount stuff, 4U, etc. Since it's not some mid tower ATX form, they can use anything non-standard that goes. Server boards are common to have different sizes, for instance. Such as looking like a big table with one side cut... lol.

@DR Dro
are the SXM socketed GPU's seen in the wikipedia page using heatpipes or water cooling?

No crazy 40mm fans, you can see dual tubing down the right bottom end of the picture. So yeah, water cooling.

Last gen has both Air and Watercooling options. The Watercooling allowed another 100 Watt TDP per card but even the aircooled variants had a 400 watt TDP.

I think a 4U case that's strictly setup for integrating radiators into for water cooling rack mount servers above and below it to serve both with water cooling would be a really nice idea. You could probably squeeze four 480mm radiators into a case with push/pull configurations that could then cool 2 to 4 systems CPU's and/or GPU's in whichever way is needed. It would be perfect for a 20U server rack to cool 4 systems at once.

Can nvidia release a card for broad consumers without rt cores? Would save up space for rasterization. Maybe a card marketed for competitive gaming.

Why!? Competitive games can already run at multiple hundred fps (like 500+ for games like CS GO for example) with the limitation being CPU

The obvious question here is...Crysis? will it run?

It won't, no video output.

Selling one kidney probably won't be enough.

Selling one kidney probably won't be enough.

One kidney PER device may work, The other kidney/Half a liver would be for the server itself

How much are left testicles going for these days?
