NVIDIA QUADRO P5000 UPDATE

Quadro P6000 ships with 3840 CUDA cores (30 SMs), confirming our earlier suspicions that GP102 was a (or at least) 30 SM part. On a quick technical note, as this announcement comes just 4 days after NVIDIA announced the GP102 GPU used on this card, this Quadro announcement does confirm a few more things about GP102. This also puts the P6000 around 9% ahead of the recently announced NVIDIA Titan X. On paper this gives P6000 around 71% more shading performance and 37% more ROP throughput than the older Maxwell 2 M6000. Given that it's a fully enabled GP102 we're looking at, this works out to a clockspeed of around 1560MHz. It goes without saying that it should be higher, but how much higher remains to be seen.ДЇor overall expected performance, NVIDIA has published that the P6000 is rated for 12 TFLOPs FP32. NVIDIA has not locked down the GPU clockspeeds, and as a result we donвЂ™t just how P6000s clockspeeds and total throughput will compare to M6000вЂ™s.

Unfortunately in their zeal to get this announcement out in time for SIGGRAPH - a frequent venue for Quadro announcements вЂ“ we donвЂ™t have specific performance numbers available.

Do note however that like M6000, external power is pulled via a single 8-pin power connector, so technically this card is out of spec (not that this was a problem for M6000). Utilizing the same basic metal shroud and blower design as the M6000 cards, the P6000 should be suitable as drop-in replacement for older M6000 cards. NVIDIA has also sent over pictures of the card design, and confirmed that the card ships with the Quadro 6000-series standard TDP of 250W. Meanwhile this is so far the first and only Pascal card with GDDR5X to support ECC, with NVIDIA implementing an optional soft-ECC method for the DRAM only, just as was the case on M6000. At this time the largest capacity GDDR5X memory chips we know of (8Gb), so this is as large of a capacity that P6000 can be built with at this time. But for customers who didnвЂ™t jump on the 24GB вЂ“ which is likely a lot of them, including most 12GB M6000 owners вЂ“ then this is a doubling (or more) of memory capacity compared to past Quadro cards. This is the same amount of memory as in the 24GB M6000 refresh launched this spring, so thereвЂ™s no capacity boost at the top of NVIDIAвЂ™s lineup. Paired with P6000 is 24GB of GDDR5X memory, running at a conservative 9Gbps, for a total memory bandwidth of 432GB/sec.

The direct successor to the GM200 used in the Quadro M6000, the GP102 mixes a larger number of SMs/CUDA cores and higher clockspeeds to significantly boost performance. As NVIDIAвЂ™s impending flagship Quadro card, this is based on the just-announced GP102 GPU. We will start, as always, at the top, with the Quadro P6000. And like NVIDIAвЂ™s consumer counterparts, these new cards should offer significant performance and feature upgrades over their Maxwell 2 based predecessors. As hinted at by the name, these are based on NVIDIAвЂ™s latest Pascal generation GPUs., marking the introduction of Pascal to the Quadro family.

NVIDIA QUADRO P5000 UPDATE

With the company moving so quickly it was only a matter of time until a Quadro update was announced, and now today at SIGGRAPH 2016 the company is doing just that.Д«eing announced today are the two Quadro models that will fill out the high-end of the Quadro family, the P6000 and P5000. If there was one word to describe the launch of NVIDIAвЂ™s Pascal generation products, itвЂ™s вЂњexpedient.вЂќ On the consumer side of the business the company has launched 3 different GeForce cards and announced a fourth ( Titan X), while on the HPC side the company has already launched their Tesla P100 accelerator, with the PCIe version due next quarter.
