NVIDIA Brings Out the Titan

Titans are known as a race of deities in Greek mythology as well as being the largest moon of Saturn. In the tech industry, it is now known as NVIDIA’s most powerful GPU. The NVIDIA TITAN V will be driven by the green machine’s latest architecture, NVIDIA Volta.

One of the main features of the TITAN V’s Volta architecture incorporates both NVIDIA CUDA and Tensor Cores to deliver unparalleled performance ratings. The TITAN V will also be the first “consumer-grade” GPU to be running the new Volta architecture. There are a total of 640 Tensor Cores to deliver over 100 Teraflops per second (TFLOPS) of deep learning AI performance with 21 billion transistors.

The TITAN V comprises of 12GB of HBM2 memory made with 3D packaging technology. There will also be a 16-phase DrMOS power supply with integrated real time current and thermal monitoring capability.

The design aspect of the TITAN V will also turn heads, foregoing its usual black/silver colourway in place for a gold/black variant instead. The aluminium body also features a copper heatsink with better cooling efficiency and quieter fan acoustics.

As it stands, the price for the NVIDIA TITAN V comes at a whopping US$2,999 (approx. RM12,221.82). Sadly, it can only be shipped around the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. What’s more, NVIDIA has limited the amount of GPUs sold to a maximum of two per customer.
