NVIDIA's Mining Card Was Hiding an A100, and Someone Finally Unlocked It
Hardware security researcher Kate has published work showing that NVIDIA's CMP 170HX mining card uses the same chip as the data center A100. She used voltage fault injection to bypass the fuse limits and unlock most cards to 80GB of memory and more compute units, with half-precision speed above the retail A100. The method is very hard to do and can destroy the card.
