NVIDIA’s Grace processor is a bold move, abandoning the traditional x86 architecture in favor of ARM-based Neoverse V2 cores. This opens up new opportunities and challenges the dominance of AMD and Intel.
Independent tests conducted by Phoronix showed the Grace processor to be on par with the best offerings from AMD (EPYC Genoa) and Intel (Emerald Rapids Xeon). Although detailed power consumption comparisons have not yet been completed, initial estimates point to significantly lower power consumption compared to competitors.
Main features of Grace processor:
-
Up to 144 cores Neoverse V2 on two Grace processors in the Superchip model.
-
First World-class LPDDR5x memory with ECC and 1 TB/s bandwidth.
-
Consistent The 900 GB/s interface is much faster than PCIe Gen 5.
-
Stated 2x more productivity and 3.5x more efficiency than competitors.
-
Works With all NVIDIA software stacks including RTX, HPC, AI and Omniverse.
