Nvidia has had a fantastic past couple of years, riding the AI wave perhaps better than anyone else – and it looks to keep that momentum up. Its CEO Jensen Huang has been enjoying some of the best net worth gains this year and one thing reportedly coming up in Team Green’s calendar is the release of further GB200 AI server chips.
There have been some rumors that GB200 shipments are being delayed, but this claim has been refuted by Huang. AI is evidently a fast-moving industry and any hardware improvement that can help boost performance is highly sought-after. A recent interview with the Nvidia CEO reveals that “production is progressing smoothly” for GB200.
New Blackwell AI chips are in production
As part the The Big Interview Live with Wired, Jensen Huang gave his thoughts on the importance of AI, ongoing implementation of the tech, as well as the production of its new Blackwell architecture AI chip for servers. Calling it “a leap in performance,” cutting down on the months required to gather data (and train an AI model on that data), reducing that time by three or four times.
Everyone is racing to reach new milestones with AI and Huang says that the difference three months can make from one company to another “could be a game-changer”. Blackwell is also said to be “thirty times faster” during its AI ‘inference’ process in terms of performance and efficiency.
It’s clear that Nvidia is making the most of its prestige in the AI industry right now, and we also have more consumer GPUs on the way. The RTX 50 series is expected to be announced in early January, with the Nvidia CES 2025 keynote already announced for the 6th. The event will also play host to “hands-on demos showcasing innovations in AI, robotics and accelerated computing” according to a recent Nvidia blog post.
