Nvidia subsequently introduced a PCIe 4.0 x16 two-slot expansion-card model for data-centres with centralized cooling.<\/p>\n<p>Professional accelerators are largely similar to mining GPUs. Both types require powerful compute GPUs and lack display connectors.<\/p>\n<p>The Tensor Core of the A100 delivers up to 19.5 TFLOPS for single-precision calculations. The card is equipped with 40 GB of memory HBM2 at 1.6 TB\/s. The DAG size is 3.49 GB for Ethereum and 3.58 GB for Ethereum Classic.<\/p>\n<p>In February, Nvidia decided <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/nvidia-to-cap-hash-rate-on-geforce-rtx-3060-gpus\">to halve the hash rate of the desktop graphics card<\/a> GeForce RTX 3060, to target gamers&#8217; needs.<\/p>\n<p>To meet demand from miners, the company announced the NVIDIA CMP (Cryptocurrency Mining Processor) line of chips for professional mining.<\/p>\n<p>Later online surfaced <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/first-pictures-of-nvidias-mining-focused-graphics-card-published\">the first photographs of the graphics processor<\/a> Nvidia Gigabyte CMP 30HX, the lower-end model of the new series.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to ForkLog news on Telegram: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/forklogfeed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForkLog Feed<\/a> \u2014 the full feed of news, <a href=\"https:\/\/telegram.me\/forklog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForkLog<\/a> \u2014 the most important news and polls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nvidia is considering releasing CMP HX mining accelerators based on the GA100 GPU.
