I wonder if NVIDIA is going to incorporate POWER cores into future designs? Something like Jetson, but with a substantially higher power budget, would be very interesting...

Hmm... that would be very interesting. It could be Nvidia's way of getting into the high-end server market, without depending on Intel or AMD. To my recollection, POWER currently has PCIe 4.0 support, and there's already a lot of server software available for it. It seems to me ARM isn't so great for high-end servers, so, I'm now very curious where Nvidia may be going with this.
