Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about NVIDIA GPU architectures, datacenter hardware, Tensor Cores, and performance optimization.
What's the difference between Hopper and Grace Hopper?
Hopper is a GPU architecture powering datacenter GPUs like H100 and H200. Grace Hopper is a Superchip that combines a Grace ARM CPU with a Hopper GPU ...
Why did NVIDIA split consumer and datacenter architectures?
Starting in 2022, NVIDIA released separate architectures for consumer (Ada Lovelace) and datacenter (Hopper) GPUs. This allows each architecture to be...
What are Tensor Cores?
Tensor Cores are specialized hardware units designed to accelerate matrix multiplication operations used in deep learning. Each generation adds new ca...
What does "2-die design" mean in Blackwell?
Modern chip manufacturing has physical size limits (reticle limit). Blackwell overcomes this by using two GPU dies connected via an ultra-fast interco...
Can I mix different architectures in a cluster?
Technically yes, but it's not recommended for performance-critical workloads. Different architectures have different capabilities (Tensor Core generat...
