Datacenter GPU dies cannot be binned for Geforce because they lack fixed function graphics features. Raytracing acceleration in particular must be non-trivial area that you wouldn't want to spend on a datacenter die. Not to mention the data fabric is probably pretty different.
- alex43578 9mo agoI’m not saying their binning between data center and 3060s, but within gaming and between gaming and RTX Pro cards, there’s binning. As you cut SMs from a die you move from the 3090 down the stack, for instance. That’s yield management right there.
- touisteur 9mo agoThe A40, L40S and Blackwell 6000 Pro Server have RT cores. 3 datacenter GPUs. If you want binning in action, the RTX ones other than the top ones, are it. Look for the A30 too, of which I was surprised there was no successor. Either they had better yields on Hopper or they didn't get enough from the A30...
