While having nothing to do with a broader press briefing, in which's context Nvidias representative said the part in question, but apparently was not asked about Amber and Volta....
OK maybe I am missing something.
He is dodging the question, filling in something that is cleared to state publicly while giving the impression to have positively answered the question. Media training, single-digit lesson (I guess).
I seem to not have made it clear enough, so: I was referring to broader press briefings in the context of this discussion - which i wrote in the post before. Tamasi said as much in the one I was listening in as well. Further, „an IHV“ was meant in the sense of official communication via aforementioned broad press briefings and the like, not individuals talking over a beer, maybe reveling confidential information. The latter I would strongly assume, is not the case here, since a) no good journalist would expose his sources in this way were they inofficial and b) no friendly contact at an IHV would give you such an obvious marketing line for an answer if he wants to keep you as a friend.
So an evolution of Optix, that while working with older architectures Nvidia says works best with Volta not just in performance but also other enhancements, including traversal being integral and controlled by OptiX.
N7 HPC is considerably less dense than the SoC variant.
Any more hard data/references to backup that statement ?
