That didn't take long... Mere minutes after NVIDIA confirmed some basic Rosa CPU details and its "Rigel" CPU core, merged to the upstream GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) codebase is initial enablement on the NVIDIA Rigel core...
NVIDIA is rapidly pushing its new CPU architecture, Rigel, into the open-source compiler ecosystem shortly after its announcement to accelerate adoption and developer tooling.
This move by NVIDIA signifies their serious intent to become a full-stack compute provider, directly challenging established CPU architectures and potentially reshaping the competitive landscape for server and HPC processors.
NVIDIA now has a new, independent CPU core recognized in a major compiler, enabling developers to begin optimizing software for their architecture, rather than solely relying on GPUs or third-party CPUs.
