Nvidia's $20B Groq Gambit: SRAM Inferno Torches GPU-Only Inference

Nvidia just folded a startup's wild SRAM accelerator into its crown-jewel Rubin platform. Forget pure GPU racks; here's why inference is going hybrid, fast.

⚡ Key Takeaways

  • Nvidia's $20B Groq deal integrates SRAM LPUs into Rubin, axing CPX for hybrid inference racks.
  • Groq 3 delivers 40 PB/s rack bandwidth, 35x better efficiency than GPU-only for decode.
  • Startup consolidation wave cements Nvidia's inference moat via Dynamo orchestration.
