    This is what a 144TB Nvidia GPU looks like.

    Nvidia just announced its DGX GH200 at Computex. It’s got 256 of its new “Grace Hopper Superchips” for an exaflop of AI performance — and contains 150 miles of optical fiber and over 2,000 fans. Google, Meta, and Microsoft will be “evaluating” it, though not necessarily purchasing kits: they tend to build their own compute clouds, even if they contain loads of Nvidia GPUs.

    Nvidia says it’s 2.2x faster than a last-gen DGX H100 cluster at GPT3 training, as one example.

    Arm Cortex Immortalis 2023.

    Say it with me: Arm doesn’t sell chips. But it does design CPU and GPU cores its licensees can optionally use. What’s new?

    Cortex-X4 (big CPU): 15% more perf, 40% less power

    Cortex-A720 and A520: 20% and 22% more efficient, respectively

    Immortalis-G720 (the GPU): 15% more perf, 40% lighter on memory bandwidth

    Last time, they only came together in the MediaTek Dimensity 9200, which arrived in the Vivo X90, X90 Pro and Oppo Find X6.

    Xbox throws (useful) shade.

    The subtext: twelve of those games you just saw announced at Sony’s PlayStation Showcase are also coming to Xbox.

    Which is helpful, considering at least one of Sony’s reveal trailers was crafted to exclude competitors.
