The solution is based on the graphic processor GP102. At first glance it may seem that the company has prepared a new single-processor monster for gaming market. Scope TITAN X is very specific - it is a deep computer-based training with a focus on accelerating computational FP32 and INT8.
So, based on NVIDIA's press conference confirmed that the GP102 processor has an area of 471 square crystal. mm - is 139 square meters. mm less than the GP100 processor. At the same time GPU GP102 and GP100, apparently, the same number of FP32 units, In addition to the loss of blocks needed for Supercomputing (double precision), GP102, likely lost NVLInk interface, extended registers and something else. In general, the number of transistors reduced in comparison with the GP100 more than 3 billion.
Crop "excess" gives an opportunity to significantly reduce the cost of production as the GP102 at the expense of smaller die area.
