NVIDIA officially launched the new range of Quadro Pascal GPUs, which comes with the high-end GP100.

The semiconductor company unveiled the details about the GP100 GPU during the SolidWorks Conference in Los Angeles Sunday, Feb. 5.

According to the statement of NVIDIA vice president of Professional Visualization Bob Pette on the company's website, the Quadro GP100 alters the performance of a typical desktop workstation using the power of a supercomputer.

The company also revealed that the GP100 will merge the extraordinary double precision performance of the GPU with 16 GB of high-bandwidth memory for faster processing. It also offers over "20 TFLOPS of 16-bit floating point precision computing," which makes it a perfect platform to allow deep learning using the Windows and Linux environments. The Quadro GP100 also has four DisplayPort 1.4 slots, as well as a DVI slot.

Lenovo general manager and executive director of the Workstation Business Unit Rob Herman also shared his views about the possible uses of the new Quadro GP100 in their company.

"The new NVIDIA GP100 will be beneficial to our customers in industries such as design and manufacturing who require extreme compute capability for larger datasets," Herman stated. "The unmatched power of the Lenovo ThinkStation P910 offers workstation users best-in-class performance with up to three NVIDIA GP100 GPUs, enabling customers in deep learning, AI and simulations to process more data in real time."

Ars Technica also reports that the current spread of Quadro GP100 parts could mean that NVIDIA is planning to add more consumer cards in the future. This could be the company's way to compete with the Vega graphics cards from AMD.

While the company claims that the new NVIDIA Quadro products like the GP100 will start selling in public in March 2017, the price list is still unavailable at the moment.

Other members of the NVIDIA Quadro GPU line include the NVIDIA Quadro P4000, NVIDIA Quadro P2000, NVIDIA Quadro P1000, NVIDIA Quadro P600, and NVIDIA Quadro P400.
