Nvidia is planning an Arm-based server CPU to take on Xeon and Epyc launching in 2023.
The chip will be called Grace, after Grace Hopper, and is targeting a 10x speed advantage compared to x86-based systems.
Initial customers, says Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, will be the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) and Los Alamos National Laboratory who will buy supercomputers based on Grace built by HPE’s Cray group for delivery in 2023.
