If you look at a any of the nvidia DGX boards it's already pretty close.
PCIe is a standard/commodity so that multiple vendors can compete and customers can save money. But at 8.0 speeds I'm not sure how many vendors will really be supplying, there's already only a few doing serdes this fast...
- Melatonic 1y agoIsnt it about latency as well with DGX boards? Vs PCI-E. You can only fit so much RAM on a board that will realistically be plugging into a slot
- snerbles 1y agoMost current DGX server assemblies are stacked and compression-fit, much higher density and more amenable to liquid cooling. https://www.servethehome.com/micron-socamm-memory-powers-next-gen-nvidia-grace-gb300-servers/ https://www.servethehome.com/micron-socamm-memory-powers-nex...
- eggsome 1y agoHas the DGX actually shipped anywhere yet?
- verall 1y agoDo you mean the new one? The older ones have been around for so long you can buy off-leases of them: https://www.etb-tech.com/nvidia-dgx-1-ai-gpu-server-2-x-e5-2698v4-2-2ghz-twenty-core-512gb-1-x-480gb-sata-ssd-4-x-1-92tb-sata-ssd-8-x-tesla-v100-32gb-gpus-svr-nvidiadgx-1-s.html https://www.etb-tech.com/nvidia-dgx-1-ai-gpu-server-2-x-e5-2...
- y1n0 1y agoThere are companies that specialize in memory controller ip that every one else uses, including large semi companies like Intel. The ip companies are the first to support new standards, make their money selling to intel etc. Allowing intel or whomever to take their time to build higher performance ip.
- bgnn 1y agoThese days you can buy any standard as a soft IP from Synopsys or Cadence. They take their previous serdes and modify it to meet the new standard. They have thousands of employees across the globe just doing that.
