Nvidia's 5G Vision Hinges on Ericsson and Nokia Collaboration
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Light Reading
Nvidia is pushing to reshape the 5G landscape by promoting its GPUs as a viable option for cloud RAN, challenging the traditional purpose-built networks and Intel's x86 architecture. The company aims to leverage its CUDA platform to offer a more versatile and efficient solution for telecom operators, but success hinges on buy-in from major players like Ericsson and Nokia. While Nvidia's GPUs promise performance akin to ASICs, concerns about power consumption and economic viability persist, especially in less densely populated areas.
