AMD & NVIDIA Fight It Out In The Server CPU Segment: Each Claiming Over 2x Performance Uplift With EPYC Genoa & Grace Chips

AMD & NVIDIA are claiming that they both offer over 2x gain over the competitor with their EPYC Genoa & Grace Superchip CPU platforms for data centers.

AMD & NVIDIA Go Guns Blazing Against Each Other: Both Claim Data Center Leadership With EPYC Genoa & Grace Superchip CPUs

NVIDIA's entry into the data center CPU segment with its Grace Superchip and Grace CPU has been a major deal, especially for the x86 market which has enjoyed its dominance in the space for quite some time. While Arm chips have seen decent adoption, NVIDIA's Grace CPU, also based on Arm architecture, is posing a major threat. That's why the company is now facing some heated reaction from AMD who have now responded to some recent performance claims made by NVIDIA.

NVIDIA is already massively successful in the AI space with its GPU-based accelerators and Grace CPUs further challenge x86 chipmakers such as AMD & Intel. With Grace, NVIDIA might have the potential to gain a good chunk of market share in the data center segment given that its Superchip platform is adopted in data center solution based on its Hopper & next-gen Blackwell solution and those are selling like hot cakes at the moment.

As a response, AMD has published a blog post, explaining the importance of data centers and how their high-performance and energy-efficient operations shape the tech world. What followed next was a shocker to not just NVIDIA but to the tech world in general. AMD shows that while EPYC Milan was already top-notch for the x86 data center segment, its latest "4th Gen EPYC" Genoa and Bergamo CPUs take the performance to a whole new level.

AMD shows off a huge performance lead with its 4th Gen EPYC processors against NVIDIA's Grace CPU Superchip. However, do note that these are not third-party benchmarks. So, the final results may vary but it does look like the new EPYC processors are
