Arm and Nvidia have expanded their technical partnership to integrate Arm's Neoverse compute platforms with Nvidia's NVLink Fusion, a next-generation high-bandwidth interconnect designed for AI data centers.The collaboration enables ecosystem partners to build coherent, rack-scale systems where Arm CPUs can directly interface with Nvidia GPUs and accelerators, reducing memory bottlenecks and improving system-wide throughput.Arm confirmed that its Neoverse platform now supports the AMBA CHI C2C protocol, ensuring compatibility with NVLink Fusion and allowing more flexible, modular AI infrastructure designs. The companies said the integration will help data centers scale AI workloads more efficiently by enabling full coherency across CPUs, GPUs, and custom accelerators.However, key details remain unclear: timelines for system availability, OEM participation, and specific Neoverse cores (V2, N2, etc.) that will support NVLink Fusion have not been disclosed. Major Arm CPU users such as AWS (Graviton4), Google (Axion), and Microsoft (Cobalt 100) have no public NVLink Fusion plans yet. Fujitsu's Monaka CPU is the only disclosed chip targeting NVLink Fusion, but shipping timelines are unannounced.NVLink Fusion, paired with the NVLink 5 Switch, can link up to 576 GPUs in a non-blocking fabric with 14.4 TB/s switching capacity, signalling large upgrades in rack-scale AI performance.The partnership is expected to create opportunities for vendors in cooling, high-speed cables, custom backplanes, thermal materials, and validation tools as AI racks grow more thermally & electrically demanding.
