Nvidia Unveils $30K-40K Blackwell AI Chip for High-End Servers After $10B R&D Investment
- Nvidia's new Blackwell AI chip could cost between $30,000 - $40,000, a reasonable price compared to previous high-end AI chips
- Blackwell cost Nvidia over $10 billion in R&D to develop, with new technology to go "beyond the limits of physics"
- Analysts estimate Nvidia's production costs for Blackwell are over $6,000 per chip
- Customers likely won't buy Blackwell chips alone, but as part of Nvidia's full AI supercomputer systems
- Nvidia's strategy focuses on selling high-end AI servers and supercomputers packed with Blackwell chips rather than individual chips
