Nvidia announced a new type of processor, the data processing unit (DPU), essentially a network interface card (NIC) with built-in Arm CPU cores to offload and accelerate networking, storage and security tasks which would previously have been done on another CPU. The DPU will eventually replace the NIC in data center systems.

Nvidia's GTC Conference always brings a flurry of futuristic announcements from the AI behemoth. This autumn's event, which will host 30,000 attendees virtually, is no exception with CEO Jensen Huang expected to announce everything from a new type of data center processor to its lowest priced AI development kit yet, and from video conferencing AI that makes it look like you're paying attention to a brand new supercomputer for the healthcare industry.
