The article talks about NVidia racks, but also about their DSF [0], which is Ethernet-based (as opposed to Infiniband) built on switches using Cisco and Broadcom chipsets and custom ASIC xPU accelerators such as their own MTIA [1] which is built for them by Broadcom. So they are talking more than one approach simultaneously.

There's also an AMD rack and meta is big enough that they won't get blacklisted for it.
Yeah this is... nothing. At least nothing anyone worth less than a few billion could ever care about.
Would be far more interesting to see MTIA in an edge compute PCIe form.
