Volta (microarchitecture)

Volta is the codename, but not the trademark,[1] for a GPU microarchitecture developed by Nvidia, succeeding Pascal.

[3] It has also been used in the Quadro GV100 and Titan V. There were no mainstream GeForce graphics cards based on Volta.

After two USPTO proceedings,[5][6] on July 3, 2023 Nvidia lost the Volta trademark application in the field of artificial intelligence.

[3] The Volta GV100 GPU is built on a 12 nm process size using HBM2 memory with 900 GB/s of bandwidth.

[28][29] The Volta GPUs will connect to the POWER9 CPUs via NVLink 2.0, which is expected to support cache coherency and therefore improve GPGPU performance.
