While these developments are still speculative and based on rumors, it’s worth noting that both AMD and Intel have adopted MCM designs in their GPUs and CPUs. Nvidia’s potential embrace of MCM technology reflects the industry’s response to the end of Moore’s Law, the historical prediction of doubling transistor density every two years. With transistors now approaching atomic size limits, alternative approaches, such as MCM design, are essential to deliver the expected performance improvements.
The prospect of distributing various GPU workloads, including geometry, rasterization, ray tracing, and machine learning, among specialized mini-processors within an MCM architecture presents an opportunity for faster and more efficient task execution. While the initial transition may not be as groundbreaking as the introduction of the first GPU over two decades ago, subsequent efforts are expected to yield significant advancements, positioning Nvidia competitively in the evolving landscape of graphics processing.
