What's remarkable about your comment is how much it illustrates your ignorance.

This chip is going to make shitloads of money.

First of all, 600mm2 has already been proven to be highly profitable in the consumer space. 815 is just 30% more. You add disable some cores, and watch yields skyrocket. It's simply math.

With 12FFN a close derivative of 16FF, there's no risk of getting disastrous yields. V100 can easily reach yields of 30% when 2 out of 42 SMs are disabled.

Furthermore, this chip is perfect for Google data centers. After all, before you can do inference (with TPUs), you need training. For that, a TPU is useless. You need the FP16 and FP32. The more the better. Google will eat these things up, just like many companies were eating up P100z

Finally, Volta has a lot of really important architectural changes in the SM. It's a major departure from the Pascal SM. It will do compute much better.

AMD should be especially afraid of that part: they're going to be challenged by a compute that's finally back at the level of Fermi.
