In his GTC keynote, CEO Jensen Huang previewed what’s to come from Nvidia’s growing data center business, as well as its new Arm partnerships
On Day One of the Nvidia GTC conference, CEO Jensen Huang on Monday laid out the company’s revamped data center roadmap, fitting in the newly-announced Grace CPU. As part of Nvidia’s data center strategy, Huang also announced new partnerships with Amazon Web Services, Ampere Computing and others combining Arm-based processors with Nvidia GPUs. Grace, Huang said in his keynote, „gives us the third foundational technology for computing and the ability to rearchitect every aspect of the data center for AI.“ The chip, designed for terabyte-scale accelerated computing, joins Nvidia’s GPUs and DPUs (data processing units) in the data center. „Each chip architecture has a two-year rhythm, with likely a kicker in between,“ Huang said. „One year will focus on x86 platforms. One year will focus on Arm platforms. Every year will see new exciting products from us… Three chips, yearly leaps, one architecture.
