Nvidia abandons Intel with its DGX A100 systems - Adopts PCIe 4.0 and AMD EPYC

[WYP]

Nvidia needed PCIe 4.0 connectivity, and only AMD can offer that.



Read more about Nvidia's use of EPYC in its latest DGX A100 systems.

haha another scalp for AMD

AMD is crushing Intel more and more, and I'm lovin' it!

If I were to virtualise Windows 7 on this machine... Would it run Crysis?

Turning to its greatest rival over Intel. That shows how Intel are lagging behind.

it's funny that Nvidia are helping fuel their competitor's R&D budget, because that's what they continue to bolster quarter after quarter as their revenue improves with Zen (and maybe Navi, don't know if it's selling well).

AMD is a rival. Intel? Nvidia hates them.

It all stems back to when Intel refused to license Nvidia any more 775 sockets, so Nforce died.

They really weren't happy about that at all.

Without competition sales are less, and you don't get to charge stupid money for halo products that are faster than the rest.

Nvidia's R&D budget is probably bigger than the whole worth of AMD. It is just pocket money. They probably don't care if it is AMD or Intel CPU in their DGX machines. They want the best. Does AMD even share R&D money between divisions?
