Titolo: Nvidia Pascal 10X Faster Than Maxwell Due in 2016 on 16nm Featuring 3D Memory, NV-Link and Mixed Precision

Pascal will feature 4X the mixed precision performance, 2X  the 
performance per watt, 2.7X memory capacity & 3X the bandwidth of 
Maxwell. All of this was just revealed here at GTC.
 
Those are a lot of numbers to digest so lets break them down. Nvidia 
states that pascal will be the company’s first high performance GPU to 
feature mixed precision floating point compute FP16. Which is essential 
for low power devices such as tablets and mobile phones. Mixed 
precision is also very beneficial from a power efficiency stand point 
for many compute applications which don’t strictly require higher 
precision FP32 or FP64 compute which would benefit greatly from this 
addition.
 
Nvidia : Pascal is 10X Faster Than Maxwell – Features Mixed Precision, 
3D Memory and NV-Link Coming in 2016
 
Nvidia’s CEO went on to state that pascal will be 10 times faster than 
Maxwell and he arrived at this conclusion via what he calls “CEO math”. 
Obviously this was just a humorous way to impress the crowd at GTC 2015 
and is based on “very rough estimates”.
 
Pascal will feature three distinct new technologies.
 
#1 HBM : Stacked memory will debut on the green side with Pascal. HBM 
Gen2 more precisely, the second generation of the SK Hynix AMD 
co-developed high bandwidth  JEDEC memory standard.  The new memory 
will enable memory bandwidth to exceed 1 Terabyte/s which is 3X the 
bandwidth of the Titan X. The new memory standard will also allow for a 
huge increase in memory capacities, 2.7X the memory capacity of Maxwell 
to be precise. Which indicates that the new Pascal flagship will 
feature 32GB of video memory, a mind-bogglingly huge number.

We’ve already seen AMD take advantage of this memory technology with 
its R9 390X GPU. Which will feature up to 8GB of HBM delivering 640GB/S 
of memory bandwidth. Nearly three times that of the GTX 980 and twice 
that of the GTX Titan X. AMD has also stated that it plans to use the 
second generation of this new memory technology in future graphics 
cards. So we’re likely to see both red and green rocking second 
generation stacked HBM next year.
 
AMD Radeon R9 390X_HBM 2nd Gen memoryHBM achieves this amazing 
improvement in memory bandwidth and capacity by employing a very wide 
through-silicon-via memory interface. Each HBM cube is connected to the 
GPU with a 1024bit wide memory bus. HBM modules actually operate at low 
frequencies compared to GDDR5 but thanks to the significantly wider 
memory interface they manage to be up to 9 times faster than standard 
GDDR5 memory modules.
 
HBMWe’ve already covered this revolutionary new memory technology 
exclusively and in-depth last year. HBM will quickly replace GDDR5 as 
the standard memory technology for high performance graphics solutions. 
It’s fair to say that HBM is the future.
 
#2 NV-Link : Pascal will also be the first Nvidia GPU to feature the 
company’s new NV-Link technology which Nvidia states is 5 to 12 times 
faster than PCIE 3.0.
 
NVIDIA® NVLink™ is a high-bandwidth, energy-efficient interconnect that 
enables ultra-fast communication between the CPU and GPU, and between 
GPUs. The technology allows data sharing at rates 5 to 12 times faster 
than the traditional PCIe Gen3 interconnect, resulting in dramatic 
speed-ups in application performance and creating a new breed of 
high-density, flexible servers for accelerated computing.
 
#3 16nm manufacturing process : Pascal will the first Nvidia GPU to be 
built on TSMC’s 16nm FinFET manufacturing process. The new process 
promises to be significantly more power efficient and significantly 
more dense than 28nm. Which would enable Nvidia to build significantly 
more complex and powerful GPUs all the while significantly improving 
power efficiency.
 
TSMC’s 16FF+ (FinFET Plus) technology can provide above 65 percent 
higher speed, around 2 times the density, or 70 percent less power than 
its 28HPM technology. Comparing with 20SoC technology, 16FF+ provides 
extra 40% higher speed and 60% power saving. By leveraging the 
experience of 20SoC technology, TSMC 16FF+ shares the same metal 
backend process in order to quickly improve yield and demonstrate 
process maturity for time-to-market value.
 
Pascal is still scheduled for a 2016 release with Volta coming along 
sometime after that

Sono testa di cazzo di mio e il problema in questo caso e' solo vostro 
visto che a me di mettervi i link non me ne frega una grandissima sega.
 
Anzi, ti diro' di piu', in alcuni casi quando fai ctrl-c ctrl-v ti 
ritrovi alla fine dell'articolo il link della fonte messo a tradimento 
e sai cosa ci faccio io con quel link? Mi ci pulisco il culo.
 
Perche' sono stronzo, si.
