Earlier this year, Nvidia announced the launch of a Cryptocurrency Mining Processor specifically for Cryptocurrency use, known as the Cryptocurrency Mining Processors (CMP) HX family. This series is divided into CMP 30HX, CMP 40HX, CMP 50HX and CMP 90HX, corresponding to TU116-100, TU106-100, TU102-100 and GA102-100 gpus respectively. In the past few months, various manufacturers have launched cameras with the CMP HX series. Then there was the rumor that Nvidia would launch a mining card with a GA100 GPU.

Zhihu user @codeFordl recently showed photos of the card, named CMP 170HX, and revealed its specifications. Unlike other CMP HX mining cards in the past, the CMP 170HX is officially built by Nvidia, not a partner product. In terms of appearance, the CMP 170HX adopts a passive heat dissipation structure with double slot thickness. It is similar to the PCIe A100. It uses an 8-pin external power port of the CPU and requires a conversion cable.

By mining wave make flush with nvidia does not dissipate, as early as the beginning of the year have relevant rumours claiming nvidia intends to its strongest amp architecture graphics A100 into a professional card, after half a year ago, under the old huang dao recognition "A100" was born, the card should be named the CMP 220 hx originally, Perhaps due to yield and yield problems, the current complete 220HX has not been released, the first is the USE of A100 residual core CMP 170HX, although it is not a full blood version, but the performance is still powerful.

In terms of appearance, it is almost the same as the A100, because it is a professional mining card, nvidia naturally can't go out of its way to make a model for it. Standard dual slot PCI width, passive heat dissipation design, video card tail with a fixer, power supply is also located in the video card tail, not standard 8pin PCIe power supply, but 8pin CPU power supply, it is reported that need to be equipped with adapter. As a professional mine card naturally can not be equipped with display output interface. The reason why passive heat dissipation is adopted is not because of low heat dissipation, because the original heat dissipation mold of A100 is designed for the chassis of server and workstation. Such chassis are equipped with "violent fans", so CPU and graphics card devices do not need to be equipped with fans. So the average player might not want to buy a 170HX to mine.
