[Abstract] The new Quadro graphics card based on Pascal architecture can make workstations have supercomputer performance. At the SolidWorks World conference held in Los Angeles this week, Tencent Digital (Eskimo) brought a number of new members to its Quadro series of graphics cards. These new products include not only the powerful GP100 but also some more accessible models. We all know that Quadro is a professional-grade graphics card series for computer-aided design or other similar fields. Therefore, NVIDIA will select SolidWorks World, a new product that is distributed around CAD software. NVIDIA said that the new Quadro series can meet the increasing performance demands of design workflows. Today's users may use virtual reality simulation or machine learning techniques to ensure that their designs are flawless, which means they need a workstation that is capable of handling these high-performance demand tasks. Among these new products, the Quadro GP100 has monster-class performance parameters. It uses 16GB of high-bandwidth memory and provides 16bit floating point accuracy calculations in excess of 20 trillion times per second. NVIDIA said that this graphics card allows ordinary desktop workstations to have supercomputer performance. In addition to the GP100, NVIDIA’s new products released this time include the P4000, P2000, P1000, P600, and P400, which are based on the Pascal architecture and will replace older Kepler and Maxwell architecture products. According to reports, the upgraded Quadro will retain the original hierarchy of the series in terms of price, function combination, and thermal design power. A new generation of Quadro graphics cards will begin selling in March, but their price information is not yet announced. And well-known PC makers including HP, Dell, Fujitsu and Lenovo will also launch workstation PCs equipped with these new graphics cards. Source: DigitalTrends
