NVIDIA V100
The 2017 Volta GPU that made tensor cores — and modern AI training — mainstream.
You're looking at a chip record: what this processor is, its key specs, who designs, manufactures and supplies its parts, and where it gets used.
Tesla V100 introduced tensor cores, dedicated matrix-math units that became the defining feature of AI silicon. It powered the first large transformer training runs, including the original GPT models at OpenAI, and established the SXM module + NVLink pattern every later NVIDIA data-center GPU follows.
