Don't we already have a released Ampere card that consumes 400 Watts even at 1400 MHz? And then I'd imagine increasing that to 2000 MHz or so will probably double power consumption or come close to it. I don't think clocks will be too high, even accounting for the removal of some of the extra tensor core machinery and whatnot in the gaming cards. |
I wouldn't compare Enterprise GPUs numbers to consumer GPU numbers as enterprise GPUs generally have a ton of added things that won't make it into consumer GPUs for various reasons as they aren't meant for gaming.
But while the A100 does consume 400 Watts at 1.4ghz. It also has 6912 cores, 40GB of 5120-bit HBM2 Vram at 1.6 TB/sec and a crap ton of other things.
