Interesting. It's doing very good in almost all combinations, but it seems to have some multi-GPU scaling issues in the heavy scene? There are not many results, and most are unfortunately not really comparable, but I have the feeling it looks like the heavier the workload gets on multiple GPUs, the lower the advantage gets over other devices.

What you mean? The top 2 results look fishy - "gfx900" ??? - and the the array of 4x V100 was only beaten by a setup with 7 Pascal + 2 Maxwell cards.

That's Vega.

According to the man who ran them it was 190w
That's the question. The same user has LuxBall HDR (simple scene) results at place 9 and 10 with 4x Vega, less than half of Anaconda's 4xV100. On Hotel (complex scene) it's 1 and 2 for 4x Vega, and that's 1.5x more than Anaconda's results. So I guess something is wrong with the V100 results, the question is: what?
Ahh, the two very good results seem to be using ROCm 1.6.4, the other are under Windows.

Why?
It's an 815mm GPU, 33% larger than anything I've heard of being mass produced

They kindly asked TSMC to push the reticle limit forward.
Thats nothing groundbreaking or anything. The node is very mature so the yields must be in >1.7% range.

They need to do something before various ML/DL ASICs flood the market. V100 kinda works. Not the most cost effective solution, but it'll do.
$NVDA is one hell of a bubble fueled by meme learning and they will do anything to not let it pop.
Any data to back up this yield number?
If you include other critical factors such as HPC/AI large scale power requirements/power budget then it is a pretty important product for many out there or look at those that do DP scientific modelling where no other product touches this.
The closest general AI product to compare would be Google TPU2, and that does not necessarily match performance/efficiency of the V100 that combines a mixed-precision product with AI capability - been covered in the past by a few others here.
There is also the half height V100 which is more stripped down.
Also one pretty important consideration will be V102, just look at how the GP102 outperformed the GP100 in more common situations.
The one product that could cause a ripple for Nvidia is from Intel (beyond Xeon Phi), but depends how long it takes to really get everything aligned (HW arch more broadly and software) with their Nervana techi.

He's being cheeky. 1.7% would be 1 GV100 per wafer.

Charlie would've liked it. :^)
The V100 results show the expected perfect scaling, with the 4x number being exactly 4x the performance of the 1x.
The V100 single GPU score for Hotel is 12770. Which is “only” about 20% or so faster than a GP100 after correcting for cores and BW. A very good result, but not unexpected or terribly surprising if you look at the general architectural improvements.
The best single GPU score for gfx900 is 6526. It uses OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (2482.4). That number more or less matches a 1080Ti, which makes sense given that they have roughly the same amount of TFLOPS and BW.
The 4x score for gfx900 is 77530, or a whopping 19382 per unit, using OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (2508.0).
So one way or the other, AMD manages to triple the performance of its OpenCL drivers, way beyond what could reasonably be expected from the amount of TFLOPS and BW.
Or the alternative: those results are completely bogus.
