① SA Source

Context Before

Given Nvidia’s market share, if this transaction were structured as a full acquisition and were put to anti-trust review, such a transaction would likely not go through. The other benefit is that it avoids a drawn-out transaction closing process. Nvidia got instant access to Groq’s IP and people. This is why, less than four months after the deal was announced, Nvidia already has a system concept that is being integrated into the Vera Rubin inference stack.

Evidence

Let’s now go through a refresher on the LPU architecture to see how Groq’s LPU complements Nvidia’s GPU.

Context After

For more details see our original Groq piece. ↗ The premise from that piece remains unchanged: the standalone Groq LPU system is not economical for serving tokens at scale, but it can serve tokens very quickly which can demand a large market premium. This is the premise behind how LPU fits into a disaggregated decode system.
