Yes. Josh will be working on that one. Just keep in mind that Hot Chips is a high level overview. So a deep dive would be for a review (or at least later on when we can get our hands on an actual chip).
Nvidia has a tendency to publish die shots that are either an "artist's representation" of the die and are fairly censored (e.g. Tegra, Maxwell), or have unnatural rainbow color schemes with certain areas highlighted. This one isn't exactly a "natural" die shot either, but it's much closer than what they've published since Fermi.

Will you be covering info on the new Tegra?Ryan Smith - Tuesday, August 23, 2016 - link

Wow, that die shot doesn't look like something a clown puked up. Nvidia, are you feeling okay? You're acting strange.Michael Bay - Tuesday, August 23, 2016 - link
>doesn`tAre you implying a typical die shot should look like clown`s puke, or am I misreading this?

No he doesn't imply it should be this way. He implies that would be the usual way nVidia handles this.III-V - Tuesday, August 23, 2016 - link

"the latter of which is what you’re probably counting right now"Rats! Foiled again!

Tbh that green die shot remotely resembles a used USD notes print matrix. Wonder if it is really green originally or postprocessed.JMC2000 - Wednesday, August 24, 2016 - link
Wow... I figured HBM2 would be somewhat larger than HBM1, but good lord, those are (relatively) massive!I wonder if SKHynix' HBM2 could come in a smaller package, if Nvidia used Samsung's.

someone add a banana for size comparison.psychobriggsy - Friday, August 26, 2016 - link
