… What we know for sure is that despite the desire of Meta Platforms to make its own AI chips, as evidenced by its MTIA AI inference chip design efforts as well as its acquisition of RISC-V CPU and GPU maker Rivos , is that Meta Platforms has spent big bucks with Nvidia, sometimes for whole systems a… …
… What we do not know is how much vector performance is in the MTIA 300 and its successors, but as our architectural deep dive went into, each processing element has two RISC-V vector cores. …
… This compares to a roughly $13 billion to $14 billion server CPU silicon TAM back in 2015, when Intel accounted for close to 99 percent of shipments and when most of the RISC/Unix and Itanium alternatives were either dead or dying and Arm server CPUs had been at it in earnest for four years but had… …
