Nvidia is preparing a real mining monster. It will be an accelerator based on GPU GA100

Nvidia may in the future release a dedicated mining accelerator based on its largest and most complex GPU, the GA100.

Recall that this GPU consists of 54 billion transistors and includes 8192 CUDA cores. At the same time, the Nvidia A100 accelerator also boasts a 5120-bit memory bus, and this element is very important for mining performance.

The source says the A100 will be a mining monster, but does not provide any figures. The same RTX 3090 demonstrates a hash rate within 120 MH / s, that is, apparently, the A100 will be much more productive.

It should be noted that the RTX 3090 has significantly more CUDA cores: 10,752 versus 8192. But this is due to the specific architecture of all Ampere GPUs, except for the older one. You can read more about this in our article, but, in short, the GA102 has 84 SM blocks with 128 CUDA holes in each, and the GA100 already has 128 SM blocks, but 64 CUDA cores.

In any case, it’s even scary to imagine how much the GA100-based Nvidia CMP accelerator can cost, given the complexity and high cost of the GPU itself.

As for the source, earlier he was the first to disclose the characteristics of video cards more than once. For example, the same Ampere cards of the first wave.
