Daguo Science and Technology started from the copycat system

GTX170 So this Dawning unified computing architecture will have a huge impact on the future development of human science and technology, and will also have a profound impact on the computer industry. "

Hearing Lin Chen's words, people just nodded lightly with half understanding.

"Well, you may not understand the power and greatness of this Sugon unified computing architecture.

Considering that what we are going to release is a graphics card, we will not talk about the introduction of Sugon's unified computing architecture in other fields.

So let's take graphics cards as an example, and let me introduce how powerful this architecture is in graphics cards. "

While Lin Chen was speaking, the background of the projection screen behind him switched to a picture of a pile of chips arranged in an orderly manner.

"As shown in the figure, the unified computing architecture is a parallel computing architecture, and its main feature is that it allows multiple GPU chips to perform parallel computing."

Lin Chen paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued:

"Currently there is a SLI technology called graphics card crossfire on the market, which allows two or more graphics cards to work together.

But this form can’t actually play the power of multiple graphics cards. The actual performance increase of one more graphics card does not exceed 50%, and there is a lot of performance waste.

But our Sugon unified computing architecture is different, it can perfectly allow multiple GPU graphics chips to cooperate.

There will not be a black technology with huge performance waste like the crossfire SLI technology of graphics cards.

With this technology, dozens of hundreds or even thousands of GPU graphics chips working together will become a reality.

You can imagine how powerful the smoothness and game quality can be obtained if tens, hundreds, and thousands of graphics cards are integrated. "

Hearing Lin Chen's words, people can't help but imagine the terrifying performance if tens, hundreds, and thousands of graphics cards gather together.

Afterwards, their eyes couldn't help being a little dazed, because this prospect is so beautiful!

Not to mention the terrifying performance of dozens of hundreds of thousands of graphics cards gathered together, the actual performance of just a few graphics cards can drive them crazy!

Under such circumstances, people at this time finally realized how powerful Sugon's unified computing architecture is, and how great this technology is.

In this regard, the corner of Lin Chen's mouth evoked a faint smile, and then said with a smile:

"As everyone guessed, our Sugon graphics card is an independent graphics card developed using the Sugon unified computing architecture.

Among them, Sugon GTX170 graphics card is mainly composed of 240 stream processors using SIMT technology, 32 texture pickup units, 80 raster processing units, and finally 2G super large video memory.

Through cooperation under the Dawning unified computing architecture, they finally exerted a terrifying and powerful graphics display performance!

Among them, it is worth mentioning that the number of transistors in the GTX170 chip of the Sugon GTX170 graphics card is as high as 1.4 billion transistors.

This number of transistors is equivalent to the number of transistors of 8 Sugon R7 Ryzen processors! "

It was said that nearly 20,000 audience members, guests and reporters at the scene, including tens of millions of Internet users who were watching the press conference through live video, all showed dumbfounded expressions.

What did they hear? A graphics card chip actually has 1.4 billion transistors. Is this too many transistors?

This is just insane!

Of course, after being surprised, they couldn't wait to know how powerful the Sugon GTX170 graphics card is.

However, when people's eyes brightened, the president of Yinweida, Lao Huang, looked at him quite seriously.

"Damn, they even developed the CUDA architecture!"

At the same time as he said this, the president of Yinweida, Lao Huang, had a rather ugly face.

Nothing is more depressing than spending a huge amount of money to research and develop the core technology by yourself, but it turns out that the product has not been developed yet and the finished product of others has come out.

We must know that Weida has been developing the CUDA architecture since 2004. As a result, the CUDA architecture has not been developed yet, and Sugon Technology has already released the finished product.

This depressed mood almost made Yinweida President Lao Huang want to vomit blood. Of course, what made him vomit blood even more was that through Lin Chen's explanation, he already knew how terrifying this Suguang GTX170 graphics card is!

Let's not talk about other things, just the 1.4 billion transistors alone can make people's hearts tremble.

Because there is no graphics card chip currently on the market with the number of 1.4 billion transistors.

With so many transistors, no matter how inefficient the design of the Sugon GTX170 graphics card is, this graphics card will have terrifying performance.

Of course, this Sugon GTX170 graphics card is definitely not design garbage, because the architecture of this graphics card is the Sugon unified computing architecture similar to the CUDA architecture.

Sugon's unified computing architecture will definitely be able to fully utilize the potential of those 1.4 billion transistors.

So this graphics card produced by Suguang Technology is simply a king bomb, it is simply a super magic weapon to kill any opponent in seconds!

Thinking of this, the face of Yin Weida President Lao Huang became even uglier.

However, if Lao Huang at this time knew that the architecture of the Dawning GTX170 graphics card in front of him was actually a copy of the graphics card architecture of the Invidia GTX280 series in his previous life, then Lao Huang would probably be so angry that he died on the spot.

In fact, at this time, Sugon Technology copied the previous Invidia GTX280 graphics card architecture, and the number of stream processors, texture pickup units, and raster processing units were all the same.

Even the number of transistors is 1.4 billion. The difference is that Sugon Technology is kind-hearted and gave 2G super-large video memory.

In addition, Sugon Technology's GTX170 graphics card chip area will be much larger than the previous GTX280 graphics card chip.

After all, one uses 90 nanometers and the other uses 65 nanometers. There is indeed a big gap between the two process technologies.

As for whether a chip using 90nm process technology can be stuffed with 1.4 billion transistors, as long as the heat dissipation problem is solved, it will be fine!

You must know that the previous Invidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card with an 8-nanometer process technology has as many as 76 billion transistors on it, and that is the real monster!

Of course, there are actually stronger ones than him. For example, when the 5nm process technology is adopted in 2023, A.M.D.’s MI300 graphics card will have 146 billion transistors.

The number of transistors, as long as the heat dissipation is done well, the number of 1.4 billion transistors is naturally not a problem.

Moreover, this is a parallel computing architecture, and computing tasks are shared among multiple GPU chips. The heat accumulation problem of this chip is not as serious as that of CPU processors.

Of course, it is not without disadvantages to plug 1.4 billion transistors with a 90-nanometer process technology. This disadvantage is to solve the problem of heat dissipation.

Compared with other graphics cards of the same era, and even compared to the GTX280 graphics card of the previous life, the Sugon graphics card is a bit "huge and hideous".

There is no way, the larger the size of the chip, the higher the heat dissipation requirements. At this time, it is natural to use two high-power fans and multiple heat pipes to quickly dissipate heat. (end of this chapter)
