AMD & Intel Team Up For UALink As Open Alternative To NVIDIA's NVLink


It's rare for an advanced media briefing to involve representatives from both AMD and Intel, but that happened yesterday

AMD and Intel along with Broadcom have formed the Ultra Accelerator Link "UALink" as a new open standard they are hoping to use to take on NVIDIA's proprietary NVLink interface. But in reality the hardware implementing UALink 1.0 likely won't be in customer hands until about the ~2026 timeframe meanwhile NVLink has been pervasive already throughout NVIDIA's data center products. In any event, we love open standards at Phoronix and great seeing this UALink industry collaboration and looking forward to covering it further on Phoronix.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
