While AMD was very shy talking about its upcoming GPUs at its recent events, NVIDIA takes care of our cravings by releasing a bunch of information about the GP100 GPU! On its blog, NVIDIA revealed the specifications of the Tesla P100, the server-level card that uses the same GP100 GPU as the upcoming flagship for the consumer market. Keep in mind that the final specifications of the consumer model may be a bit different than those of the Tesla P100.

Made on a 16nm FinFET process, the Tesla P100's GP100 features 15.3 billion transistors in a 610mm² die size. The chip features 3584 CUDA cores, 56 SMs, 224 texture unit, a base clock of 1328MHz, a 1480MHz GPU Boost clockspeed, 16GB HBM2 and a 300W TDP.
