NVIDIA Could Release Its Own CPUs In The Near Future

NVIDIA Could Release Its Own CPUs In The Near Future

The CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang said during a conference call yesterday, we could see the Nvidia brand CPUs in the not too distant future. This would take the company to a new level of competition with Intel and AMD.

CEO Jensen Huang stated this during a conference call, we could see the Nvidia brand CPUs in the not too distant future. This would take the company to a new level of competition with Intel and AMD. UK-based chip designer ARM Holdings was sold to US GPU specialists NVIDIA in a $40 billion deal. The company promised to keep the business back home, hire more staff, and retain the ARM brand.

In yesterday's interview with TheNextPlatform , Jensen stated that they are not only open for custom orders, but also for CPUs developed solely by them. He also mentioned that the data center seems to be the first market that NVIDIA would like to address.

“Now, with our support and that of ARM, the world can realize that they can build server CPUs. Also, some people may decide to license the cores and ask us to build those CPUs or modify our own, ”Huang said.

The company will also develop its own ecosystem around CPUs, whether for data center applications or more consumer-oriented platforms. That said, this also opens up the possibility of a future line dedicated to the consumer segment where Intel and AMD have dominated for several decades. However, we will not see any NVIDIA CPUs at the moment, as there is all the design, planning and execution process that takes time. Although of course, the future looks promising for team green.

I think this is interesting. More competition is better for everyone: more choice and better pricing.

That said, I am not sure I would consider buying a first-gen CPU from NVIDIA but maybe when they've matured to the 2nd or 3rd? Why? Well, being new to the CPU market there are bound to be bugs and issues with the initial design that will be picked up on by reviewers and no doubt NVIDIA will take on the comments to make a better future product. It's like AMD, Ryzen Zen1 was good but Zen3 is likely to a much, much better product such that I will almost certainly be buying an AMD 4000 CPU next year to replace my ageing i7-4770K.

This will be the first time I have used an AMD CPU since the early 2000s as I've always found Intel to mkae the superior CPU. Not now though as I feel Intel have stagnated releasing CPUs on a dated manufacturing node at high prices with each one requiring a new motherboard and chipset. Heck, they don't even support PCI-e 4 as far as I am aware.

Just to be clear, they can't make x86 cpus. They can make just arm cpus.
They can make a new platform not cpus for the computers as we are used now. No retro compatibility with current software.

As the article states this will most definitely be server CPUs first. Server software is far more likely to be available for ARM processors natively quite quickly as the hardware becomes available and more wide-spread.

I wonder what the timescale is likely to be, surely it must be 2022 at the earliest?
