Nvidia H100 96GB - It Exists! | ServerFlow Secrets
Did you know NVIDIA makes custom OEM versions of their top AI accelerators? Today, ServerFlow specialists unbox one of these GPUs. Presenting the NVIDIA H100 96GB – the OEM version of the legendary NVIDIA H100 AI accelerator.
The NVIDIA H100 96GB offers significant advantages over the widely known H100 80GB model. The extra 16GB of VRAM enhances its positioning for handling the ever-increasing dataset sizes of modern AI models. Beyond the memory boost, it features major improvements over the H100 80GB. In fact, it's more accurately compared to the H100 NVL 94GB. What's new?
Manufacturing Process: Built on an updated 4nm process.
Core Count: The smaller process allows for a higher core count – 16,896 cores (15% more than the 80GB version).
Memory Type: Upgraded from HBM2E to HBM3 memory, offering superior bandwidth and optimized latency.
In essence, the NVIDIA H100 96GB is a reimagined H100 80GB with enhancements and a more competitive price point compared to the NVIDIA H100 NVL 94GB. This makes it a strong contender for building advanced AI factories in data centers.
Crucial Driver Note: As the H100 96GB is strictly an enterprise solution, it only supports Linux OS. Deployment requires Ubuntu, Debian, or RedHat. The standard NVIDIA driver for Windows will not detect compatible hardware due to a GPU chip ID mismatch. This chip is designed primarily for OEM GPU infrastructure at major clients, where Linux is the standard.
