According to foreign media reports, NVIDIA unveiled a new generation artificial intelligence chip platform called Blackwell at its annual GTC event. The platform has achieved significant performance improvements, with speeds 7 to 30 times faster than existing H100 chips, while reducing power consumption by 25 times. This innovation has attracted widespread attention from the global technology community, and many developers have witnessed this important moment.

NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun stated at the meeting that Blackwell GPUs will become a powerful engine driving the new industrial revolution. He emphasized that generative artificial intelligence has become a landmark technology of the times, and NVIDIA's close cooperation with world-class enterprises will promote the widespread application and far-reaching impact of artificial intelligence in various industries. This statement demonstrates NVIDIA's leading position in the technology field and firm belief in the future.

The Blackwell chip is named after the renowned mathematician David Harold Blackwell, reflecting NVIDIA's respect for scientific giants. According to official claims, Blackwell chips have achieved an astonishing 20 petaflops in artificial intelligence performance, far ahead of the 4 petaflops of its predecessor H100. This achievement is attributed to the innovative design of up to 208 billion transistors inside Blackwell chips. In addition, NVIDIA achieved high-speed communication of 10TB per second by cleverly connecting two large chips, further improving chip performance.

The release of Blackwell chips has received widespread attention and appreciation from global technology giants. Several industry leaders have commented, expressing their dependence and recognition on NVIDIA chip technology. They unanimously believe that the rapid development of modern artificial intelligence cannot be achieved without the support of NVIDIA's powerful chip technology. Tesla CEO Elon Musk praised NVIDIA's hardware as unparalleled in the field of artificial intelligence.

Although NVIDIA has not yet announced the specific selling price of Blackwell chips, according to CNBC, the price range of the previous generation H100 chip was between $25000 and $40000, and the cost of the entire system was as high as $200000. Despite being expensive, the demand for NVIDIA chips remains strong. Last year, due to a shortage of supply, the delivery waiting time was as long as 11 months. For technology companies, using NVIDIA's AI chips has become an important symbol of demonstrating technological strength and attracting AI talent.

It is worth noting that Meta CEO Zuckerberg announced earlier this year that the company will build large-scale infrastructure to support its artificial intelligence efforts. He revealed that by the end of this year, Meta will have approximately 350000 Nvidia H100 chips, and if other types of GPUs are added, the total computing power will reach the level of approximately 600000 H100 chips. This number highlights the huge demand and high dependence of technology companies on NVIDIA chips.
