Floating-point performance	14,899 gflops	no data

Compatibility, dimensions and requirements

Information on compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).

Interface	PCIe 3.0 x16	PCIe 4.0 x16
Length	267 mm	no data
Width	2-slot	IGP
Supplementary power connectors	1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin	None

Memory

Parameters of memory installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated VRAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	HBM2	HBM2e
Maximum RAM amount	12 GB	80 GB
Memory bus width	3072 Bit	5120 Bit
Memory clock speed	1696 MHz	3.2 GB/s
