Nvidia unveils Blackwell, a powerful new AI chip to accelerate next-generation AI models
-
Nvidia unveiled Blackwell, a new AI superchip that is 30 times faster than previous chips and can power next-gen AI models with trillions of parameters.
-
The $10 billion Blackwell chip marks Nvidia's pivot to dominate the accelerating AI hardware market, where it already holds 80% share.
-
Nvidia chips break tasks into parallel pieces for faster processing; Blackwell reduces latency and energy use to enable scaling AI with a smaller carbon footprint.
-
CEO Jensen Huang believes Nvidia chips can power an AI revolution and new industrial age, but challenges include supply chain stability, competition, and customers bringing chip design in-house.
-
With 208 billion transistors and costing up to $40k each, Blackwell solidifies Nvidia's lead, but rivals like Cerebras and Groq are racing to challenge its AI chip dominance.
