In less than two years, NVIDIA's H100 chips, which are used by nearly every AI company in the world to train large language models that power services like ChatGPT, made it one of the world's most valuable companies. On Monday, NVIDIA announced a next-generation platform called Blackwell, whose chips are between seven and 30 times faster than the H100 and use 25 times less power.
"Blackwell GPUs are the engine to power this new Industrial Revolution," said NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang at the company's annual GTC event in San Jose attended by thousands of developers, and which some compared to a Taylor Swift concert. "Generative AI is the defining technology of our time. Working with the most dynamic companies in the world, we will realize the promise of AI for every industry," Huang added in a press release.
NVIDIA's Blackwell chips are named in honor of David Harold Blackwell, a mathematician who specialized in game theory and statistics. NVIDIA claims that Blackwell is the world's most powerful chip. It offers a significant performance upgrade to AI companies wit
