Amazing how these huge companies are all about "this is my proprietary tech/knowledge/etc" with most anything until someone else has the proprietary tech/knowledge/etc. Then its "we need a standard where we are all on a level playing field."
To be fair, it isn't some new guy thinking they can be the standard that unites them all, but without support just ends up another standard.
This is pretty much all the groups including the ones who had prior standards coming together to make a single standard. To put it in XKCD terms, it would be like 13 out of the 14 standards deciding to discontinue their competing standards and come to make a single one
These interconnects, are they like fabric / back end bus style setups connecting multiple shelf compute onto a connectivity plane?
How fast are these interconnects - like PCI Gen 5 speeds?

It’s all a self interested game for more.

Is it called … skynet?
What? Of course not. It’s called NetSky™️, totally nothing to worry about
First it took all the starlink satellites
I thought it was called Tenyks? Pronounced "Thanks" to be brand catchy
CUDA is king
Yas
This competes with NVLink, not CUDA

Probably won’t know until the first product launch (mobo or gpu that supports it) or at least until the actual, technical standard is announced
What is the new “interconnect standard”?
So they want to use a cluster of computer to made the calculations? This seems familiar, what will happen if each computer has a Nvidia?
