Nvidia acquires Groq to dominate AI inference with SRAM chip technology for ultra-low latency workloads, mixing three Rubin variants optimized for prefill, decode, and agentic reasoning.

Gavin Baker on X: "Nvidia is buying Groq for two reasons imo. 1) Inference is disaggregating into prefill and decode. SRAM architectures have unique advantages in decode for workloads where performance is primarily a function of memory bandwidth. Rubin CPX, Rubin and the putative “Rubin SRAM”" / X

PostConversationNvidia is buying Groq for two reasons imo. 1) Inference is disaggregating into prefill and decode. SRAM architectures have unique advantages in decode for workloads where performance is primarily a function of memory bandwidth. Rubin CPX, Rubin and the putative “Rubin SRAM” variant derived from Groq should give Nvidia the ability to mix and match chips to create the optimal balance of performance vs. cost for each workload. Rubin CPX is optimized for massive context windows durin...
