Power used for data movement is power that isn’t used to feed GPUs, and with demands for the absolute maximum compute density and efficiency in every rack these days, a savings of that magnitude is a huge deal, so it's no surprise that Meta is hopping on board as it continues to expand its footprint.
Beyond hardware, Nvidia will offer its considerable in-house expertise in designing AI models to Meta’s engineers to help the company tune and boost the performance of its own core AI applications.
All of this just goes to show that as the AI revolution continues, Nvidia’s reach into tech far beyond gaming graphics cards is so extensive that people are likely to use software powered or shaped by its models and accelerators, whether they realize it or not, and that’ll only grow more true by the day as Meta expands its use of Nvidia's platforms and tech.

bit_user It looks like ARM CPUs were the straw that broke the camel's back. AMD should've kept going with its ARM ambitions. Maybe they didn't have the resources to complete the K12, but they should've made successors when their financial picture started to improve. I had thought their Sound Wave SoC would feature Zen-based ARM cores, but rumors indicate they just had IP core licensed from ARM. I guess we'll have to wait a bit longer to see how well the Zen cores can compete, without being bogged down by the legacy of x86. Reply
