NVIDIA dissects GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip

NVIDIA revealed technical details of the GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip, a compact 2.5D package that pairs a MediaTek Arm CPU die with a Blackwell GPU die on TSMC´s 3 nm node. The design targets workstation form factors with a unified memory fabric and a roughly 140 watt package power rating.

NVIDIA presented the GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip as a compact multi-die system-on-chip built on TSMC´s 3 nm process. The package pairs a MediaTek-sourced Arm CPU die with a Blackwell GPU die in a 2.5D arrangement. NVIDIA positioned the design to bring datacenter-class capabilities into desktop-sized workstations while keeping power and thermal limits appropriate for small form factors.

The CPU subsystem implements 20 Arm v9.2 cores arranged as two clusters of ten cores, with each cluster backed by a 16 megabyte shared L3 for 32 megabytes total and per-core private L2 caches. Memory is provided by a unified LPDDR5X-9400 fabric on a 256-bit bus, supporting up to 128 gigabytes and delivering roughly 301 gigabytes per second of raw bandwidth to the package. High-speed I/O is concentrated on the CPU die, with NVMe storage and peripherals on its PCIe lanes and a ConnectX-7 network interface attached via a PCIe Gen 5 x8 link for multi-unit networking.

The GPU die is a scaled Blackwell configuration tuned for low-power, small-form-factor operation and carries a 24 megabyte L2 that can be visible to the CPU to create a coherent cache hierarchy across the two dies. NVIDIA quoted peak throughput of about 31 TeraFLOPS for FP32 and approximately 1,000 TOPS using the NVFP4 reduced-precision format. The inter-die C2C link provides aggregate bandwidth on the order of 600 gigabytes per second to enable low-latency sharing without heavy software-managed copying. The package is rated at approximately 140 watt TDP and exposes multi-display outputs including DisplayPort alt-mode and HDMI 2.1a, alongside security and virtualization features aimed at professional workloads.

UK mps open inquiry into artificial intelligence and edtech in education

UK mps have launched a cross party inquiry into how artificial intelligence and education technology are reshaping learning across early years, schools, colleges and universities, and how government should balance innovation with safeguards. The education committee will examine opportunities to improve teaching and workload alongside risks around inequality, privacy, safeguarding and assessment.

Most UK firms see Artificial Intelligence training gap as shadow tool use grows

New research finds that 6 in 10 UK businesses say employees lack comprehensive Artificial Intelligence training, even as shadow use of unapproved tools becomes widespread and investment surges. Executives warn that without stronger skills, governance and strategy, many organisations risk missing out on expected Artificial Intelligence returns.

COSO issues internal control roadmap for governing generative artificial intelligence

COSO has released governance guidance that applies its Internal Control-Integrated Framework to generative artificial intelligence, offering audit-ready control structures and implementation tools for organizations.
