Comment on Nvidia reveals Vera Rubin Superchip for the first time — incredibly compact board features 88-core Vera CPU, two Rubin GPUs, and 8 SOCAMM modules

Kinda odd. 8 GPUs to a CPU is pretty much standard, and less ‘wasteful,’ as the CPU ideally shouldn’t do much for ML workloads.

LPCAMM is sick though. So is the sheer compatness of this thing; I bet HPC folks will love it.

Yeah, 88/2 is weird as shit. Perhaps the GPUs are especially large? I know NVIDIA has that thing where you can slice up a GPU into smaller units (I can't remember what it's called, it's some fuckass TLA), so maybe they're counting on people doing that.

  They could be ‘doubled up’ under the heatspreader, yeah, so kinda 4x GPUs to a CPU.
  
  And yeah… perhaps they’re maintaining CPU ‘parity’ with 2P EPYC for slicing it up into instances.
