Nvidia has set its sights on a new frontier in the tech industry. Teaming up with the esteemed University of Bristol in the UK, Nvidia aims to develop a formidable supercomputer powered by a 'revolutionary' chip that poses a significant challenge to the longstanding dominance of Intel and AMD.
This move marks a departure from Nvidia's traditional GPU-centric approach and signals its determination to compete in the central processing unit (CPU) market. Nvidia's venture into the realm of CPUs has garnered attention with the introduction of its own chip, Grace. Unveiled earlier this year, Grace leverages Arm-based technology to deliver groundbreaking performance.
This notable development was announced during a prestigious supercomputing conference in Germany, where Nvidia revealed its collaboration with British researchers and Hewlett Packard Enterprise in the creation of Isambard 3, a supercomputer that exclusively utilizes the power of Nvidia's Grace CPU chips, omitting the inclusion of their renowned GPUs.
