and Intel and AMD stock dropped by 4% whilst NVidia went up 4% :eek:

If you read the press release you'll see why - Nvidia claims it's a Grace ARM CPU powered server will run scientific and AI workloads 10 times, yes 10 times faster than Intel and AMD's current Xeon and EPYC x86 processors.


Even if Nvidias claims don't pan out, just the fact they are entering that market as a new entrant means that the incumbents (Intel, amd) can only lose market share, they have nothing to gain with more competition


And if Nvidia's claim is accurate then the market could be due for a major shake up, this could the beginning of the end for x86

Makes me sick thinking about it, unironically hate Nvidia. I know it's a strange thing to say on a computing forum...

People keep talking about how Facebook and Google are the problem, not me. Nvidia is going to have a monopoly on computing in general one day if this keeps up.
All the other ARM vendors are very suspicious of what Nvidia wants buying ARM: after all they already have both an architectural and processor license which gives them great scope to do their own thing. So why buy ARM?
Nvidia are very very good at alienating partners, but in the ARM space that is really only Apple AFAIK and Apple have perpetual architectural license and already have, by far, the fast ARM implementation so they probably don't care. Apple may never do ARM v9, but unlike with most of other licences it is really in ARM's interest for Apple to support ARM v9.

Intel wasted no time in attacking nvidia, their CEO came out and said they have no intention of defending against Nvidia in the CPU server and AI space

market leaders normally wouldn't waste their time on small time players, the reality is that because Intel felt the need to do this means they are most definitely concerned and trying to save face to keep their share price high
