AI960PR compute plus 960DT bandwidth: a hypothetical B200 alternative
One commenter argues that the revised 960PR’s FP4 compute performance, combined with the 960DT’s bandwidth, would be preferable overall to B200—but those strengths sit in separate chips.
TLDR
A commenter argues that combining the revised 960PR’s FP4 (four-bit floating-point) compute performance with the 960DT’s bandwidth would be preferable overall to B200. They speculate about whether a 960DT-mk2 might arrive in mid-2027 or the 970 could be brought forward instead. In a follow-up reply, the same commenter says the 960PR seems like a great chip for V4.1-type cache-light architectures.
