Nvidia Developing ARM Processor for Servers

IvanV · Jan 7, 2011, 11:37 PM

Graphics chip specialist Nvidia (NVDA) is developing a CPU based on the ARM architecture that powers popular smartphones and tablets, the company confirmed last night at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Nvidia says its “Project Denver” initiative will result in hybrid servers that use graphics processing units (GPUs) in tandem with CPUs to accelerate computing processes. This concept was used in several of the top-performing supercomputers in the latest Top 500 power rankings.

I think there might be more to this than servers. Windows 8 will be ARM compatible.

They announced the Denver for desktops as well. It would seem the Tegra was just the first step.
