微软可能正在开发用于数据中心的网卡设备，以减少对英伟达的依赖。该设备类似于 Nvidia 的 ConnectX-7 网卡，提供 400Gbit/s 网络端口，用于超大规模数据中心的网络基础设施，包括微软的 Azure。英伟达将 ConnectX-7 网卡与其数据中心芯片（如 A100 和 H100）一起出售。这些卡用于连接网络中的多个服务器，允许它们相互交换数据。消息人士称，该网卡可节省微软的资金并提高其 Azure 服务器的性能，例如，它可以减少 OpenAI 在微软服务器上训练模型的时间。萨蒂亚·纳德拉（Satya Nadella）已任命网络设备制造商瞻博网络（Juniper Networks）的联合创始人普拉迪普·辛杜（Pradeep Sindhu）开发新设备。这家科技巨头去年收购了 Sindhu 的新创业公司 Fungible。
Microsoft is reportedly developing network card devices for data centers to reduce reliance on Nvidia. These devices are similar to Nvidia’s ConnectX-7 network cards, offering 400Gbit/s network ports for the networking infrastructure of hyperscale data centers, including Microsoft’s Azure. Nvidia sells ConnectX-7 network cards alongside its data center chips such as A100 and H100. These cards are used to connect multiple servers in a network, enabling them to exchange data with each other. Sources suggest that the network card could save Microsoft costs and improve performance for its Azure servers, potentially reducing the time required for OpenAI to train models on Microsoft’s servers. Satya Nadella has appointed Pradeep Sindhu, co-founder of networking equipment manufacturer Juniper Networks, to develop the new device. The tech giant acquired Sindhu’s startup Fungible last year.
