Nvidia challenges Intel directly via the Grace chip

Nvidia plans to build a server chip called Grace, which is based on British Arm technology.


This puts it in direct competition with rival Intel, and adds a layer of complexity to the antitrust review of Nvidia's $ 40 billion purchase of the Arm.


Intel is the world's largest maker of central processors for data center servers, but has seen increased competition from chips based on Arm technology.


And with the Grace server processor, Nvidia has become the largest chipset yet to challenge Intel in its core market.


Arm technology powers chips in most smartphones, and for the past several years it has been making its way into data centers.


Nvidia's entry into the market could accelerate Arm penetration of data centers.


NVIDIA chips are traditionally used as accelerators in conjunction with current Intel or AMD processors, which reduces some of the computing work from the processors and speeds up the overall computing system.


By making its own CPU, Nvidia is directly competing with Intel and AMD for the first time.


Nvidia CEO described the new server chip as the final piece of the puzzle that joins NVIDIA's graphics chips and networks to form the building block of a modern data center.


The company said the Grace server processor, released in 2023, is designed to handle tasks such as training AI algorithms.


Known for its graphic chips that improve video game playback, Nvidia has focused heavily on AI computing in recent years, helping its market value overtake Intel to become the largest US semiconductor company.


Nvidia also said: The Swiss National Center for Supercomputing is planning to build a new supercomputer called Alps, using the new Grace processor, made by Hewlett-Packard.


Nvidia acceleration chips continue to support Intel and AMD processors even in the same market.


The company is focusing on making acceleration chipsets that work with Arm processors for a year, then those that work with Intel and AMD processors next year.

Microsoft is building the world's most powerful weather supercomputer

Microsoft is building the world's most powerful weather supercomputer Microsoft is building the world's most powerful weather supercomputer,The British are taking their weather obsession to new heights, as the UK today announced that it is advancing its project to build the world's most powerful climate and weather supercomputer with the help of Microsoft. The country's weather service, the Bureau of Meteorology, has entered into a multi-million-pound agreement with the tech company for the project, which was previously earmarked to receive 1.2 billion pounds ($ 1.6 billion) in government funding. And while the UK is already proud of its current weather supercomputer that can perform 16,000 trillion calculations per second, the new device will be twice as powerful. By accessing more detailed climate models, the UK hopes to protect its cities and transport infrastructure in the future to protect them from extreme weather eve...

Samsung regains the lead in smartphones from Apple

Samsung regains the lead in smartphones from Apple Market research firm Canalys said: Samsung snatched the crown from Apple as the world's largest smartphone producer, with one-fifth of its global sales in the first quarter. And Xiaomi, the Chinese company, recorded its best quarterly performance ever, with shipments increasing 62 per cent to 49 million phones with a 14 per cent market share, ranking third after Samsung and Apple. Overall, global sales jumped 27 percent to 347 million units in the first quarter, as the Chinese economy opened up after the epidemic, and the rapid introduction of the vaccine in the United States raised hopes for an economic recovery. Canalys said: South Korea's Samsung shipped 76.5 million smartphones this quarter, capturing 22 percent of the market. The company announced, today, Thursday, that it increased its quarterly ...
