"It is important to note that Grace chips are available only in CPU-GPU combinations, like the GH200, whereas the Threadripper 7000 series offers various models with up to 1TB of DDR5 memory." Not quite: NVIDIA also has the Grace Superchip, which combines two Grace CPUs in the same package as the Grace Hopper. This just replaces the Hopper GPU with another Grace CPU, still connected through the high speed NVLink bus that connects the CPU and GPU in the Grace Hopper part. So you get 144 processor cores in the system. That does necessitate an external GPU if you need GPU capabilities, but you get double the CPU processing capability.
