And given Nvidia has never tried to do anything on the server, it might be that AMD is already ahead of many others.
- spartango 14y agoNvidia ships quite a bit of Tesla hardware for GPGPU data center use; Amazon just bought a massive shipment of these racks for use through AWS.[1] What's notable about Nvidia's Tesla offerings is that they sit as a separate 1-2U rack on top of the compute box. The space and power costs of operating Nvidia GPGPUs in a datacenter are nontrivial. If AMD ships a solid ARM product with some good on-die GPGPU components, that might compete with Nvidia, but otherwise the two are in different spaces even within the server world.

- tmurray 14y agoTesla boards haven't shipped in a separate 1U form factor for a few years; they're all passively-cooled PCIe boards inside a x86 server chassis now.
- mrb 14y agoActually both setups are possible. Sometimes vendors put the Tesla PCIe cards in a separate chassis, and link the chassis to the host via a PCIe cable, eg.: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-c410x/pd http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-c410x/pd
