"Grace?" After 13 microarchitectures given the last names of historical figures, it's really weird to use someone's first name. Interesting that Anandtech and Wikipedia are both calling it Hopper. What on Earth are the marketing bros thinking?

I wonder if Apple also intends to introduce ECC LPDDR5 on the Mac Pro. Other than additional expansion, I’m struggling to see what else they can add to distinguish it from the Mac Studio.

More cores and more RAM is really kind of it. I guess PCIe but I’m kind of wondering if they’ll do that.

And more worryingly, will a GPU function in the slots.

The questions everyone has, Ram and GPU.

This is interesting. So without actually targeting a specific Cloud / server market for their CPU, which often ends with a chicken and egg problem with HyperScaler making their own Design or Chip. Nvidia manage to enter the Server CPU market leveraging their GPU and AI workload. All of a sudden there is real choice of ARM CPU on Server. ( What will happen to Ampere ? ) The LPDDR5X used here will also be the first to…

heh, does Intel have any chance to catch up? They fell so far behind.

I really don't see what they can do. It seems like in the last year they pivoted hard into "ok we'll build chips in the US again!", but it's going to be years and years before any of that pays off or even materializes. The only announcements I've heard from them are just regular "Here's the CEO of Intel telling us how he's going to fix Intel" PR blurbs and nothing else. Best case maybe they just position themselves to be bought by Nvidia...

How likely is it that one of AWS / GCP / Azure will deploy these? Nvidia has some relationships there for the A100 chips.

Amazon has at least two generations of their own homebrew ARM chip, the Graviton. They offer it for people to rent and use in AWS, and publicly stated they are rapidly transitioning their internal services to use it too. In my experience Graviton 2 is much cheaper than x86 for typical web workloads--I've seen costs cut by 20-40% with it.

Which is (EDIT: NOT) the most widely sold console ever.

Not by a long shot. PS2 and DS outsell by about 50 million units.

What are people's experience of developing with NVIDIA? I know what Linus thinks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYWzMvlj2RQ

Nvidia's AI APIs are well documented and supported. That's why everyone uses them.
