Rumors began this weekend that NVIDIA would be acquiring Mellanox and this morning they confirmed they will be acquiring Mellanox for $6.9 billion USD.
Acquiring Mellanox is a high performance computing (HPC) play and now gives NVIDIA more exposure in this space outside of GPU/compute with Mellanox's interconnect products widely being used among high-end servers for Ethernet and other network technologies. NVIDIA and Mellanox hardware is already used in both the much talked about Sierra and Summit super-computers.
NVIDIA expects their Mellanox acquisition to close by the end of the 2019 calendar year.
