Nvidia GH100 Hopper rumored to feature over 140 billion transistors, COPA-based MCM GPU architecture can theoretically offer up to 233 GB HBM2 VRAM

Nvidia's upcoming GH100 Hopper HPC accelerator has aroused quite the interest owing to recent leaks.

It is not yet clear how Nvidia would achieve such a high transistor density on the 5 nm package, but it is likely that Hopper will include both monolithic and multi-chip module (MCM) architectures and cater independently to HPC and DL workloads.
