NVIDIA sets up plan to create new kind of data center chip

NVIDIA Corp has announced a multi-year plan to create a new kind of chip for data centers, aimed at siphoning off more functions from its chief rival Intel Corp.

 

The company announced models with limited features and will debut in months, while full-fledged versions are planned within two years. Server companies such as Dell Technologies and Lenovo Group plan to integrate them into their machines.

 

NVIDIA chips have long been used to improve video game graphics, but in recent years they have helped to speed up artificial intelligence tasks such as image recognition. The chips typically sit alongside an Intel central processor, offloading some of the computing work.

 

NVIDIA is now seeking to grab more tasks with its proposed series of "data processing unit" chips. They will combine networking technology acquired with NVIDIA's $6.9 billion purchase of Mellanox Technologies, with artificial intelligence and computing power from Arm. NVIDIA last month agreed to buy Arm from SoftBank Group Corp for $40 billion.

 

Using artificial intelligence, the chips could detect hackers trying to break into a data center, said Manuvir Das, NVIDIA's Head of Enterprise Computing, in the briefing. The chips would review network traffic for unusual patterns and seek to block it proactively.
