Tech giants form AI group to counter Nvidia with new interconnect standard | "Ultra Accelerator Link" aims to connect high-performance GPUs and servers
"Ultra Accelerator Link" aims to connect high-performance GPUs and servers.
Along those lines, the UALink group seeks to establish an open standard that allows multiple companies to contribute and develop AI hardware advancements instead of being locked into Nvidia's proprietary ecosystem. This approach is similar to other open standards, such as Compute Express Link(CXL)—created by Intel in 2019—which provides high-speed, high-capacity connections between CPUs and devices or memory in data centers. The standard is based on technologies like AMD's Infinity Architecture and is expected to improve speed and reduce data transfer latency compared to existing interconnect specifications.
