Nvidia Partners with VMware to Circle Intel
Nvidia is taking over the AI chip world by connecting with VMware software after bringing ARM inhouse. Intel has a real challenge ahead. What Nvidia is doing is to unify AI chips with cloud computing, via VMware, and then drive the mobile world with ARM.
Nvidia and VMware have partnered on a major artificial intelligence deal in which VMware will make its data center software compatible with Nvidia’s computer chips tailored for deep learning. VMware announced the partnership on Tuesday amid its annual VMworld conference, held online this year owing to the coronavirus pandemic. As part of the partnership, VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger told Fortune that Nvidia will ensure that the developer software that accompanies its A.I. chips will work with VMware Tanzu technology, which incorporates the trendy container technology that coders use to build apps that work with multiple cloud computing services and in-house data centers.
