Moving to the SoC side, with how beefy the Olympus core is, NVIDIA has given Vera an equally beefy memory subsystem. Olympus appears to be a fast CPU core, so now we can ask whether the whitepaper proves what NVIDIA says it proves. This is in direct contradiction to NVIDIA’s results which top out at ~400 GB/s of memory bandwidth. In other words, both processors convert a remarkably similar percentage of their theoretical memory bandwidth into sustained bandwidth. A Good CPU Does Not Need a Bad ArgumentAfter 45 pages, my position on Vera is more positive than my position on the Vera whitepaper.
