  Nvidia thinks it’s time for traditional CPUs to step aside when it comes to tackling the largest machine learning tasks, especially training huge models that are now upwards of a trillion parameters. Conventional super-computers make use of specialized processors — often GPUs — to do much of the compute-intensive …

  Nvidia has released a preview of its Q1 2021 revenue figures and a statement indicating the GPU shortage that’s bedeviled the market since September 2020 isn’t going away any time soon. The good news is, Nvidia expects to earn more than the $5.3 billion it previously predicted. Nvidia doesn’t …

  Nvidia’s Ampere launch last fall combined a very good GPU with a very bad availability situation. Five months later, it’s still a very good GPU, with a reportedly worsening availability situation. The culprit, in this case, is Chinese New Year, when a number of factories close to celebrate the …

  There’s a rumor going around that Intel and Nvidia have conspired to block AMD’s Ryzen Mobile 4000 series from high-end gaming laptops. This information has supposedly been provided by an unnamed OEM, and claims that a secret agreement between Intel and Nvidia specifies that top-end RTX GPUs can only …

  The Nvidia RTX 3000 family isn’t going to be any easier to find as we head into Christmas, 2020. Any hope to the contrary was dashed during the company’s conference call for calendar Q3 2020. According to Colette Kress, executive vice president and CFO of Nvidia, continued incredibly strong …

  So you want to stream some video games from the cloud? Apple hasn’t made that very easy on its devices thanks to some heavy-handed App Store policies, but the open internet is coming to the rescue. Both Nvidia and Google have announced iOS support for their respective cloud gaming …

  It’s not unusual to see some users posting problems when a new GPU or CPU launches, but there’s early data suggesting that some RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 GPUs have a stability problem when they push near-to or above 2GHz. Most reports have focused on 2GHz, but at least …

  Nvidia recently unveiled its long-awaited Amepre-based graphics cards, displacing the famously spendy Turing architecture. Ampere isn’t going to be cheap necessarily, but the value seems great based on some early tests. You might also be happy to learn you won’t need a PCIe 4.0 slot for the top-of-the-line RTX …

  Microsoft is deploying Nvidia’s new A100 Ampere GPUs across its data centers, and giving customers a massive AI processing boost in the process. Get it? In the– (a sharply hooked cane enters, stage right) Ahem. As I was saying. The ND A100 v4 VM family starts with a single …

  Over the past week or so, I’ve written several articles exploring the idea of an ARM sale to Nvidia and the long-term effects on the computer industry, as well as how Nvidia might ameliorate some of those concerns. According to one of ARM’x co-founders, Hermann Hauser, allowing Nvidia to …
