Nvidia also has plans to use NVLink interconnects in its graphics processors which could be embedded into the new Power servers.
IBM is collaborating with the OpenPower Foundation, which includes Google, Nvidia, Samsung, and Tyan Computer Corp. The consortium was established last year to enable other companies to develop chips, servers and components for the Power architecture.
The idea is to gain market dominance by turning Power servers into more commercially available servers.
Google has a developed a prototype server based on Power chips and Tyan is preparing to release its first non-IBM Power server.
