alt Hacker News>Nvidia was selling desktop-grade ARM SOCs before Apple Silicon was ever announced
You can believe all you want that the dinky little jetson boards were desktop grade when historically the ARM SoC portion of a jetson board couldn't even keep up with broadcom/rockchip SoCs. It's taken until recently for the actual arm compute portion of Nvidia SoC's to be worth a damn at all, and they still fall far behind Apple let alone the rest of the pack like Qualcomm/Samsung.
I don't have to believe. I've run KDE and GNOME on the Tegra boards, you get full-fat CUDA support without sacrificing Vulkan drivers. It's incredible.
You can believe all you want that good single-core performance will corner the edge compute market. It hasn't, Graviton has more buy-in than any Apple Silicon chip ever got.
