Nvidia repurposes their gaming silicon every generation, and this one is no different.
If you are talking about the L40 vs L40S, I'm not sure. Does the L40 just barely sneak by the export restrictions?
- treesciencebot 3y agoI don't think L40/L40S are allowed to be exported when all the other AD102 (the underlying silicon) variants are banned including lower specced ones like 4090s. > exceeding certain performance thresholds (including but not limited to the A100, A800, H100, H800, L40, L40S, and RTX 4090). Seems like it's included in the SEC filing[0] [0]: https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1045810/000104581023000217/nvda-20231017.htm https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1045810/0001...
- brucethemoose2 3y agoL40 throughput is technically lower though since it isn't clocked to the stratosphere like the 4090. I was wondering if it was barely at the threshold or something. EDIT: Ah interesting, so it is included.
