Sounds like a memory coherent 80GB/sec link:<br>

nah.<br>

shows only gpu-gpu links (just like SLI).<br>

I think that picture is incorrect. It shows NVlink only between the GPUS, but the text accompanying it states<br>
<br>
"plans to integrate a high-speed interconnect, called NVIDIA® NVLink™, into its future GPUs, enabling GPUs and CPUs to share data five to 12 times faster than they can today."<br>
<br>
This is in disagreement with the illustration. I think someone included the wrong illustration by accident, or drew it wrong. Is there anyone from NVidia on this list that can provide clarity here?<br>
