Nvidia leads in AI hardware, software performance, says MLPerf benchmark tests

Graphic chip maker Nvidia has once again smashed performance records for its AI computing platform in the latest benchmark test rounds of MLPerf, extending it's lead In AI performance of hardware, software and services. Organisations across a wide range of industries are already tapping into the Nvidia A100 Tensor Core GPU's exceptional inference performance to take AI from their research groups into daily operations. "We're at a tipping point as every industry seeks better ways to apply AI to offer new services and grow their business," said Ian Buck, general manager and vice president of Accelerated Computing at Nvidia. Nvidia extended the lead on MLPerf benchmark with its A100 chip delivering up to 237 times faster AI inference than CPUs, thus enabling businesses to move AI from research to production.
