From the article: "The GPU can be seen by Windows, but Nvidia only publishes Arm drivers for Linux, not Windows. So in device manager you just see a Basic Display Adapter, and it can't really do anything."

Never thought I'd live in a world where drivers are published for Linux first. This is great.

I mean, arm drivers for GPUs are used a ton in scientific computing and deep learning.

Nvidia sells ARM servers with 8-16 GPUs to my knowledge.

So that makes sense

Nvidia also wanted to buy ARM and has just announced their own ARM CPU, so yeah.

And they have been pushing Tegra for more than a decade.

Their embedded SoCs include GPUs as well.

The NVIDIA Jetson is Arm based, with (duh) their GPU. Funnily enough, at $DAYJOB I used an Altra Arm server to do builds of our codebase - it replaced having to build the code directly on a device sitting on a rack in our server room (slow! Especially on Xavier), and saved me from having to set up a cross compile.
