NVIDIA Officially Launches "Vera" Enterprise CPU: Features 88 Custom "Olympus" Cores and Standalone Server Options Following its initial teaser in 2024 and continuous industry anticipation, NVIDIA has officially announced the commercial availability of its next-generation server processor, Vera . Named after the pioneering American astronomer Vera Rubin , the new chip represents NVIDIA’s second-generation data center CPU, succeeding the Grace architecture (launched in 2021), which has achieved nearly 2.5 million unit sales globally. While engineered to form an optimized superchip pairing with NVIDIA’s upcoming Rubin GPU , the Vera processor introduces a major shift in NVIDIA's hardware ecosystem by offering broad deployment flexibility. Under the Hood: The "Olympus" Core Architecture The architectural foundation of Vera relies on 88 custom proprietary cores , codenamed Olympus . NVIDIA stated that the Olympus microarchitecture was strategically devel...

AMD Disrupts Data Centers: Introducing Low-Power LPDDR5X for Next-Gen EPYC Servers AMD is pioneering a new era of energy efficiency in the data center by integrating LPDDR5X  a memory standard typically reserved for smartphones into the server environment. This move aims to tackle the skyrocketing power demands of modern AI and cloud infrastructure. The CAMM2 Revolution: Overcoming LPDDR Constraints Historically, LPDDR (Low Power Double Data Rate) memory was unsuitable for servers because it had to be soldered directly to the motherboard, making upgrades impossible. AMD is solving this by adopting the CAMM2 (Compression Attached Memory Module) or SOCAMM2 form factor. This modular slot design allows for higher density in a smaller footprint compared to traditional DIMM or RDIMM modules. By utilizing LPDDR5X, AMD can deliver superior data transfer rates while operating at significantly lower voltages. The Road to EPYC "Verano" The only remaining hurdle for LPDDR in the en...

CPU AMD EPYC first series, there are nine variants, from small models to 8 cores to the largest model 32 cores, with both socket singles (CODE P attach generation. ) and dual-socket connection. Parts manufacturer, there are many servers that participate in all HPE, Dell EMC,Supermicro, etc. List of customer order and then is Microsoft Azure, Baidu Cloud, Dropbox, Bloomberg. Benchmark AMD's own EPYC 7601 indicate that top-end benchmark scores better than Xeon E5-2699A V4 at the same price of 47% (integer) and 75% (floating point).
