Intel’s First Discrete Xe Server GPU Aimed At Hyperscalers

November 12, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 2

We have been waiting for years to see the first discrete X^e GPU from Intel that is aimed at the datacenter, and as it turns out, the first one is not the heavy compute engine we have been anticipating, but rather a souped up version of the Iris X^e LP and Iris Max X^e LP graphics cards that were launched at the end of October, which themselves are essentially the GPU extracted from the hybrid CPU-GPU “Tiger Lake” Core i9 processors for PC clients. …

The Dollars And Sense Of Nvidia Paying A Fortune For Arm

July 31, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 17

Back in April, when we were talking with Nvidia co-founder and chief executive officer Jensen Huang about the datacenter being the new unit of compute, we explained that we were always disappointed with the fact that Nvidia did not bring its “Denver” hybrid Arm CPU and Nvidia GPU, previewed way back in January 2011, to market, and said further we really wanted Nvidia to redefine what a CPU is by breaking its memory and I/O truly free from its compute. …
