Looks like Nvidia is cooking up a new DGX deep-learning system

Earlier today, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dropped a video on YouTube titled "What's Jensen been cooking?"

Luckily, this doesn't appear to be a Breaking Bad situation—Huang opens his oven to reveal a large motherboard with 14 massive heatsinks on it, and with noticeable effort, he lifts it out of the oven and places it on the kitchen counter.

The teaser is presented without comment—apart from "the world's largest graphics card, fresh out of the oven"—but the device looks like a successor to 2018's Volta-based DGX-2 deep-learning system, packing eight of whatever GPUs are to succeed the Tesla v100, a few Xeon CPUs, and an Nvidia Nvswitch scalable interconnect to tie the whole thing together.

We should find out more about the new system during Huang's keynote at Nvidia's virtual GPU Technology conference, scheduled for broadcast on YouTube Thursday at 9am ET.
