Nvidia abandons 64-bit Denver chip for servers

From PC World: Nvidia has cancelled plans to develop a 64-bit CPU processor for servers, three years after it said it would build such a chip.

“That’s not something we’re doing today,” said Ian Buck, vice president of accelerated computing at Nvidia.

The company is instead focusing its latest 64-bit Tegra chips on mobile and embedded devices, Buck said.

Nvidia in 2011 announced a 64-bit ARM-based chip called Project Denver, which would also go into mobile devices, PCs and servers. The company said it was looking to pair Tegra chips with GPUs in servers, but those plans haven’t seen the light of day. The latest Tegra K1 chip, which includes a 64-bit CPU and will ship later this year, is for smartphones, tablets, cars and other products.
