Nvidia has officially entered the CPU market with Grace, a data center CPU which is designed to accompany GPUs in at-scale AI and high performance computing (HPC) markets.

"Today, we're introducing a new kind of computer, the basic building block of the modern data center," said Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO in his keynote speech at the company's GPU Technology Conference (GTC). Grace "brings together the latest GPU accelerated computing, Mellanox high-performance networking, and something brand new: the final piece of the puzzle."

Huge natural language processing (NLP) AI models such as GPT-3 are hungry for compute and growing model size and complexity is helping drive demand for ever more powerful AI computers in the data center and cloud.
