NVDA - Arm launches new server chip platforms for HPC and data centers

Chip designer Arm (NVDA) unveils two new platforms targeting data centers, high performance computing, and machine learning.The Arm Neoverse V1 platform is the first-ever Arm-designed core that supports Scalable Vector Extension microprocessor instructions, which offers a 50% performance uplift, 1.8x improvement for a range of vector workloads, and 4x improvement for machine learning workloads compared to N1.Arm Neoverse N2 platform is the first based on the Armv9 chip architecture unveiled last month, the first new Arm architecture in a decade, and SVE2. Arm says the platform offers 40% higher single-threaded performance compared to N1.There's also the Arm Neoverse CMN-700, a mesh interconnect for the platforms.Arm added the Neoverse V1 and N2 platforms to its roadmap back in September.Source: Company blog post. Nvidia agreed to purchase Arm from SoftBank ([[SFTBF]],[[SFTBY]]) for $40B, but the UK flagged the purchase for a deeper probe on national security and antitrust concerns.
