GP100 supports FP16 FMAD GP102 supports INT16 and INT8 MAD with 32-bit accumulation

Overall, not impressed with Stratix 10. It won't be cost effective, it's not much more power-efficient, and Volta will likely leapfrog it across the board within a year.

Wasn't this thing supposed to sample in late 2014? Back then it would have been a gamechanger at any price. Now, 1080Ti for $700 beats it across the board in throughput/$. NVIDIA's confusing messaging about using consumer versus professional HW is about the only thing that might make it viable for deep learning. Although I note the absence of training perf numbers here, just (apparently) inference.
