Nvidia says its Grace CPU Superchip is twice as fast as x86-compatible processors for the same power consumption

Published

Nvidia said that its Arm-based Grace CPU Superchip processor in tests with real workloads shows a twofold increase in performance compared to x86-compatible CPUs in the same range of power consumption. With which processors Nvidia compared, it is not specified.

The company says these figures mean data centers can handle twice as much peak traffic for the same power consumption if they switch to Grace. Or they can cut their energy bills by almost half while maintaining productivity.

Nvidia itself says that Grace provides such results thanks to three main factors. Firstly, these are 72 Arm Neoverse V2 cores in one CPU (Grace CPU Superchip, we recall, contains two CPUs on one board), and secondly, in fact, the combination of two such CPUs via the NVLink-C2C interface with a bandwidth of 900 GB / s , third, the use of server-class LPDDR5X memory.

Unlocking your video card, almost like the good old days. Brazilian craftsmen turned the Radeon RX 5600 XT into an RX 5700 with 16 GB of memory

Unlocking your video card almost like the good old days

Modern processors and video cards can very rarely be significantly changed in any way. It turns out there is an exception. Enthusiasts from Brazil were able to add memory to the Radeon RX 5600 XT video card and even expand the bus.

Unlocking your video card, almost like the good old days.  Brazilian craftsmen turned the Radeon RX 5600 XT into an RX 5700 with 16 GB of memory

The Radeon RX 5600 XT comes standard with a Navi 10 GPU with 2,304 stream processors and 6GB of memory with a 192-bit bus. At the same time, the RX 5700 relies on the same GPU with the same number of active units, but is already equipped with 8 GB of memory and a 256-bit bus. That is, the graphics processor itself has a 256-bit bus. And they managed to unblock it.

The modders from the Paulo Gomes team did a very difficult job, but they actually turned the RX 5600 XT into an RX 5700, and even better. In the process, they added another 10 GB of memory to the card, that is, the total volume was 16 GB. True, the resulting performance increase is due precisely to the wider bus, and not to the amount of memory.

As a result, after all the modifications and additional overclocking, it was possible to increase performance by 29%, which is unattainable using conventional methods on any other modern video card.

However, 29% is not so much, given the complexity of the process, so such an unlocking will not become widespread.
