Arm CPUs Integrate with Nvidia AI Chips Through NVLink Fusion Partnership
Summary
Arm and Nvidia forge groundbreaking partnership enabling seamless integration between Arm-based Neoverse CPUs and Nvidia AI chips through NVLink Fusion technology, revolutionizing data center infrastructure as major cloud providers develop custom processors optimized for AI workloads.
Key Points
- Arm announces that CPUs based on its technology will integrate with AI chips using Nvidia's NVLink Fusion technology, making it easier for customers to pair Arm-based Neoverse CPUs with Nvidia's graphics processing units
- The partnership signals Nvidia is opening its NVLink platform to work with various custom chips rather than forcing customers to use only Nvidia CPUs, as major cloud providers like Microsoft, Amazon and Google develop their own Arm-based processors
- Custom Neoverse chips will include a new protocol enabling seamless data movement with GPUs, addressing the shift in AI infrastructure where GPU accelerators have become more critical than traditional CPUs in servers
