R & D independent CPU! NVIDIA assembles a new team in Israel

Although the blockbuster deal to acquire ARM is basically in vain, NVIDIA will obviously not give up its pursuit of CPU.

NVIDIA CTO Michael Kagan recently confirmed that NVIDIA has formed a new CPU research and development team in Israel to expand its presence in the HPC high-performance computing market.

He said israel has countless geniuses and is a key member of the global tech ecosystem, and NVIDIA is excited to form a new CPU team there and looks forward to enhancing its research and development capabilities there.

NVIDIA already has several R&D teams in Israel to develop high-speed networks, high-performance computing solutions, DPU data processors, etc., but it is not yet clear which direction the new team is engaged in.

In April 2021, NVIDIA announced the first self-developed ARM architecture high-performance processor "Grace", based on the ARM Neoverse architecture, with LPDDR5X memory bandwidth of more than 500GB/s, support ECC, through the NVLink bus to connect its own GPU, bandwidth of more than 900GB/s, while the bandwidth between the two CPUs exceeds 600GB/s.

The NVIDIA Grace processor will be officially launched in 2023, and is working with Europe to create the world's fastest AI supercomputing "ALPS" (Alps), with a computing power of up to 20ExaFlops (200 billion billion calculations per second).
