A company I have never heard of bought for $7 billion. Nvidia has been pushing into AI and supercomputers/data centers, so sounds smart.

A careful reminder over her, for those who are a bit naive. Such deals are mostly not in cash completely. Most of the time, a deal of this size has a mix of shares, debt-overtaking, and cash mixed in. Things are not easy as they appear on paper.

They produce the fabric for the backbone of 'compute' clusters, amongst other things, so nodes can talk to other nodes RAM to RAM with little speed loss. You can pickup old Mellanox Infiniband cards @40GbE/s (for around $40) and connect 2 PC's with just a direct cable. I had them working in Windows about 7 years ago (Server or Datacenter edition, not sure about normal windows) A mate is currently working on an EPYC based cluster and he mentioned it's using Mellanox's at 200GbE/s 😱
