NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has been Cooking the World's Largest GPU - Is this Ampere?
NVIDIA is rumored to introduce their next-generation Ampere architecture very soon, at its GTC event happening on May 14th. We're expecting to see an announcement for the successor to the company's DGX lineup of pre-built compute systems—using the upcoming Ampere architecture of course. At the heart of these machines, will be a new GA100 GPU, that's rumored to be very fast. A while ago, we've seen NVIDIA register a trademark for "DGX A100", which seems to be a credible name for these systems featuring the new Tesla A100 graphics cards.
Today, NVIDIA's CEO was spotted in anunlisted video that's published on the official NVIDIA YouTube channel. It shows him pulling out of the oven what he calls "world's largest GPU", that he has been cooking all the time. Featuring eight Tesla A100 GPUs, this DGX A100 system appears to be based on a similar platform design as previous DGX systems, where the GPU is a socketed SXM2 design. This looks like a viable upgrade path for owners of previous DGX systems—just swap out the GPUs and enjoy higher performance. It's been a while since we have seen Mr. Huang appear with his leather jacket, and in the video, he isn't wearing one, is this the real Jensen?

maybe theres more being cooked up in this kitchen than GPU's......
It looks like more like a bad omen to me...
At least he could have called Aunt Lisa for some tea party too...
Those are just silicon spatulas. Useful for cake glazing and general cooking with non-stick hardware. I also have a bunch of those and there is nothing special about them.
There's an Korean interview that kinda mentions it is even more complicated. But we can still make fun of it.
