		MeteOzturk on March 6, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Vortex: OpenCL Compatible RISC-V GPGPU What Nvidia brings to the table with both the Jetson line and the Tegra line is precisely those GPGPU's. The ARM parts are pretty standard I believe. What I meant was if there was enough interest and development around an open-source architecture for GPGPU's and Neural processing it would have the potential to become a competitor to Nvidia's offering. I am confident it would take years to become a worthy competitor in the desktop and server markets. Edge and portable devices I am not so sure.

Not sure exactly what you're saying here, but NVIDIA's cores are bottom-up custom, and they are very unusual.

The older Jetson units featured standard Cortex-A57 processors and the newer units have their custom processors (Denver and Carmel architectures)
