FIVE TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS OF PASCAL

The NVIDIA Pascal architecture is built on five technological breakthroughs, enabling a new computing platform that’s disrupting conventional thinking from the desk-side to the data center.

16 NANOMETER FINFET FOR UNPRECEDENTED ENERGY EFFICIENCY

With 150 billion transistors built on bleeding-edge 16 nanometer FinFET fabrication technology, the Pascal GPU is the world's largest FinFET chip ever built. It’s engineered to deliver the fastest performance and best energy efficiency for workloads with near-infinite computing needs.

16 NANOMETER FINFET FOR UNPRECEDENTED ENERGY EFFICIENCY

AN EXPONENTIAL LEAP IN PERFORMANCE

Pascal is the most powerful compute architecture ever built inside a GPU. It transforms a computer into a supercomputer that delivers unprecedented performance, including over 5 teraflops of double precision performance for HPC workloads. For deep learning, a Pascal-powered system offers over 12X leap in neural network training—reducing training time from weeks to hours—and a 7X increase in deep learning inference throughput compared to current-generation GPU architectures.

AN EXPONENTIAL LEAP IN PERFORMANCE

NVIDIA NVLINK FOR MAXIMUM APPLICATION SCALABILITY

Pascal is the first architecture to integrate the revolutionary NVIDIA NVLink™ high-speed bidirectional interconnect. This technology is designed to scale applications across multiple GPUs, delivering a 5X acceleration in interconnect bandwidth compared to today's best-in-class solution.

CoWoS WITH HBM2 FOR BIG DATA WORKLOADS

The Pascal architecture unifies processor and data into a single package to deliver unprecedented compute efficiency. Using an innovative approach to memory design, CoWoS^® (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) with HBM2 gives you a 3X boost in memory bandwidth performance over the NVIDIA Maxwell™ architecture.
