NVIDIA GPU architecture that Pascal had just launched has exceeded the speed of the processor that the current generation of Maxwell.
Due to NVIDIA's GeForce GTX has 1080 2560 CUDA Cores, which will operate on 1607Mhz, and increased to 1733Mhz on fashion-Boost. Clockspeed on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 this before can never be attained by generations of Maxwell! More interestingly is the use of 8 GB GDDR5X, which although ' only ' has a 256-bit bus width, but has a 10Gbps transfer rate, or it could be translated into GDDR5X 5 Ghz (2.5 Ghz real clock). Memory Clockspeed is also much higher than the previous technology, which rating on 7Gbps (overclockable up to 8Gbps).
Various new technologies entails, from the process of manufacturing the FinFET 16nm, new architecture, the use of the GDDR5X chip, and also the design of power regulator that could give more power ' net ', had a role in the achievement of the existing high clockspeed in GTX 1080. Seen that one of the highlights of the GTX 1080 is the potential for tremendous clockspeed.
And by the time NVIDIA GPU running them on a Demo, apparently with a speed greater than 2,1 GHz! All of this was only achieved with standard cooling and also temperature only 67 c. Very wonderful isn't it?
