Fortunately, this is just a Data Center product…
The stronger the performance, the higher the power consumption may be. According to a roadmap from GIGA Computing, we may see more than 500W processors appear in data center products in the future.
This exposed roadmap shows the next power consumption possibilities of AMD, Intel and NVIDIA in terms of CPU, GPU and CPU + GPU.
For the CPU part, Intel will launch a product with a power consumption of up to 500W in 2024. If there is no mistake, the code name of this product should be Granite Rapids; AMD will also launch a product with a power consumption of 600W in 2024. In terms of time, this product The code name should be Nirvana of the Zen 5 architecture.
As for the GPU part, it can be divided into PCIe, SXM or OAM. Among them, the PCIe part can only reach up to 500W, but in fact, Ada Lovelace has a possible space of 600W in the early stage, but later NVIDIA gave up this direction. As for whether it is the Blackwell architecture that was announced earlier , which is unreasonable from the perspective of the time axis.
Currently the TGP of NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada is 300W.
Then there is the 700W SXM5, which will be the H100 of the Hopper architecture, and the AMD part does not seem to include the Instinct MI300, which is expected to start shipping in the second half of 2023.
The last is the 600-1000W of NVIDIA’s Superchip part. After all, it integrates GPU and CPU, so it is reasonable to consume such a large power consumption.
