NVIDIA showcased a new development at Computex 2024 with the introduction of the HGX B200 board, replacing the NVLink Switch chips with a reduced quantity of two on the board. This change marks a departure from the previous four NVLink Switch chips setup. The transition to the HGX B200 board signifies a shift in design strategy compared to previous generations like the P100/V100 and A100 eras. The new board layout places the NVLink Switches in the middle of the board instead of at the edge, potentially improving high-speed signaling by reducing trace lengths. The adjustment in chip positioning and quantity aims to enhance performance and efficiency in high-performance computing applications. NVIDIA's move towards the HGX B200 board represents a step forward in optimizing GPU configurations for improved functionality and signal integrity.
