NVIDIA Teases Next-Gen GPUs, DGX Hardware Ahead of GTC 2020 Keynote
by Ryan Smith on May 12, 2020 2:00 PM EST
Among the many events delayed or canceled due to the current coronavirus pandemic is NVIDIA’s annual GPU Technology Conference. After a false start, the spring event was rescheduled as an all-digital affair, centered around CEO Jensen Huang’s annual keynote. And with that keynote set to be broadcast on Thursday morning, the company has posted a short video teasing some of the new hardware we’re presumably going to see in the keynote.
In the video, titled “What’s Jensen been cooking”, Huang pulls out a rather heavy-looking 8 GPU baseboard from his oven, placing it on his kitchen counter. Calling it “the world’s largest graphics card”, the board has apparently “been cookin’ for a while.”
With no other context provided in the 27 second video, the board looks a great deal like an updated version of the baseboards used in NVIDIA’s DGX and HGX compute servers. And with NVIDIA’s next-generation compute architecture and GPU widely expected to be unveiled at the event, we are almost certainly looking at a server board full of NVIDIA’s next-gen accelerators.
No doubt we’ll be seeing and hearing a lot more about this board and the GPUs on it come Thursday, where NVIDIA's keynote starts bright and early at 6am PT.

Its an old fashioned gas hob though.edzieba - Wednesday, May 13, 2020 - link
If you like to cook, you want gas hob or induction (gas if you have a bunch of nice cookware already, induction if you can afford to or want to swap out for induction-safe cookware). Everything else sucks in comparison.SaolDan - Wednesday, May 13, 2020 - link

He actually said "largest video card".thedillyo - Tuesday, May 12, 2020 - link
"largest graphics card".mode_13h - Tuesday, May 12, 2020 - link
I think it's missing some *kinda* important connectors to qualify as a graphics card.Tired though the old saying may be, it just might not be a graphics card, if it can't play Crysis.

It can probably play thousand of Crisies and stream they away ;-)mode_13h - Wednesday, May 13, 2020 - link
Calling it *a* graphics card implies that all 8 GPUs should function as one. If they don't then it's not *a* graphics card.FaaR - Thursday, May 14, 2020 - link
Please don't make me explain his joke... :P
