Nvidia would transform its most powerful GPU, the A100, into the most powerful GPU for mining in the world

It seems that Nvidia does not want to miss the opportunity to make a lot of money, and the latest industry rumors reveal that the company will transform its Ampere A100 GPU from the most powerful graphics card in the world for Artificial Intelligence to the most powerful in the world for the cryptocurrency mining.

kopite7kimi has been the one who has raised the rumor, a very reliable source in the industry, who revealed that the " A100 is a mining monster ", and that he cannot say anything else, except that if you cannot buy an A100 in the market, it is because this GPU will actually be available under the company's mining trademark CMP HX, so a fifth model would arrive, the top of the range, which is nothing more than an A100 optimized for mining cryptocurrencies.

To get an idea, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 is capable of offering a hash rate in Ethereum of up to 120 MH / s thanks to its GA102 chip with GDDR6X memory offering a bandwidth of 936.2 GB / s, while the Nvidia A100 with its 40 GB of memory HBM2e offers a bandwidth of 1555 GB / s, so you can already imagine the enormous potential of these GPUs mining cryptocurrencies if the bubble continues to increase.

Of course, this GPU went on sale for $ 12,500, so who knows how much it will cost in its version focused on miners, and more when the top-of-the-range CPM HX GPU offers a hash rate of 90 MH / s and we know that the most basic, the CPM 30HX, has already been seen for more than 600 euros.

I can't say anymore. If you don't have an A100 card, just wait for a new sku of CMP HX.
