[SpaceX is reported to be trying to "de-Nvidia" the rack layer: only buying chips and developing Kessel cabinets to bypass the L6 computing board] On November 11, semiconductor research institute SemiAnalysis disclosed on The internal code name of this self-developed rack is Kessel.
SemiAnalysis said that SpaceX plans to purchase chip packaging directly from NVIDIA and purchase the remaining components itself, thereby skipping NVIDIA's L6 computing board. The agency wrote: "This also changes who buys which parts: SpaceX plans to purchase chip packaging from NVIDIA and purchase the rest directly, bypassing NVIDIA's L6 computing board. This will give SpaceX more control over supplier selection and component procurement." Skipping L6 means that SpaceX has obtained the design and procurement rights for the board layer - PCB, connectors, power supply, heat dissipation, etc., from "NVIDIA specified" to "SpaceX optional".
