NVIDIA unveils Next-Gen RTX GPUs, AI Workflows in the Cloud

NVIDIA has launched new cloud services to support AI workflows and a new generation of GeForce RTX GPUs with new systems, silicon, and software. CEO Jensen Huang also unveiled advances in natural language understanding, the metaverse, gaming and AI technologies impacting industries from transportation and healthcare to finance and entertainment.

The newly launched next-generation GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs are powered by Ada. Ada’s advancements include a new Streaming Multiprocessor, a new RT Core with twice the ray-triangle intersection throughput, and a new Tensor Core with the Hopper FP8 Transformer Engine and 1.4 petaflops of Tensor processor power.

Ada also introduces the latest version of NVIDIA DLSS technology, DLSS 3, which uses AI to generate new frames by comparing them with prior frames to understand how a scene is changing. It could result in boosting game performance by up to 4x over brute force rendering.

Gamers and creators will get the first GPUs based on the new NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture. Enterprises will get powerful new tools for high-performance computing applications with systems based on the Grace CPU and Grace Hopper Superchip. Those building the 3D internet will get new OVX servers powered by Ada Lovelace L40 data center GPUs. Researchers and computer scientists get new large language model capabilities with NVIDIA LLMs NeMo Service. The auto industry gets Thor, a new brain with an astonishing 2,000 teraflops of performance.

Delivering the computing muscle needed to power these enormous models, Huang said the NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU, with Hopper’s next-generation Transformer Engine, is in full production, with systems shipping in the coming weeks. Grace Hopper, which combines NVIDIA’s Arm-based Grace data center CPU with Hopper GPUs, with its 7x increase in fast-memory capacity, will deliver a “giant leap” for recommender systems. Systems incorporating Grace Hopper will be available in the first half of 2023.
