Why Nvidia’s New Blackwell Chip Is Key to the Next Stage of AI

Nvidia unveiled its most powerful chip architecture at the annual GPU Technology Conference, dubbed Woodstock for AI by some analysts. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang took the stage to show off the new Blackwell computing platform, headlined by the B200 chip, a 208-billion-transistor powerhouse that exceeds the performance of Nvidia’s already class-leading AI accelerators.
The chip promises to extend Nvidia’s lead on rivals at a time when major businesses and even nations are making AI development a priority. After riding Blackwell’s predecessor, Hopper, to surpass a valuation of more than $2 trillion, Nvidia is setting high expectations with its latest product. You can read all about the Hopper-driven revolution here.

According to Nvidia Blackwell can not only process models with one trillion parameters but ten trillion. It is significantly better than Intels Gaudi 3.

There isnt enough money in the world to buy them.

But will it run Crisis 4?

[@TURE1215]

On 4 K and 144hz

[@RangiKuraKura]

So...can it run Crisis no high graphics?

[@ritswik]

All funded by gamers money buying their over priced gpu's

[@pranavk8293]

Other way around. Gamer gpus funded by AI and cloud company buyers. All the GeForce cards we get are quite literally just defective Quadros/Teslas with lower bins.

[@hg6996]

Payed by the crypto hype

[@wtfguysgetoutcommentator2701]

Lmao little wrong they make a Butt load of money from chips for cars and compute/networking…gpu’s are the second source of revenue though

No

[@ahsenserhat9270]

Nvidia is like post WW2 USA right now. Only they have the nuke and immense global power until Soviets (AMD, Intel or another company) will do the same.

[@highfps_pcgaming8836]

So far ai didnt add anything to human knowledge,instead We are increasing the Ai s knowledge. We're making a calculators that will outsmart us,hoping one day we can learn somthing from them,there is no ai out there that can gather its own sensory data .

[@blackpillfitness9136]

Maybe learning from ai isnt its main use case. Instead just making computing tasks faster and more efficient.

[@highfps_pcgaming8836]

@@blackpillfitness9136 then it remain s that powerfull calculators that process our idea,our knowledge,to reach a true or false answer ,which leads to more questions

[@user-ki7bs3rv7i]

Blackwell are too expensive for games, and is not as efficient as claimed for computer processing.

The boards look like faces, and the first one looks angry. If you have seen Terminator, I wouldn't switch it on.

Nvidia GPU just make AI more advance , Terminator will become a reality with in a few years from now , AI will become smarter tha human , when AI become self aware and developt creative imagination , we will be in danger ,

Broadcom’s XPU is better than this lol

[@hg6996]

There are no specs from broad on but there are 20 pages of specs from Nvidia. I doubt that broadcom has the better solution.

[@Jai-qf8lw]

@@hg6996 go look at Broadcom’s AI event then talk to me

[@Jai-qf8lw]

@@hg6996 they released a custom XPU that has 12 HBM stacks versus 8 on Nvidia’s Blackwell B200. That’s 50% more memory and 25% more bandwidth than Blackwell or MI300. Media doesn’t talk about this stuff you have to find out on your own

[@hg6996]

​@@Jai-qf8lw Maybe this is because media is busy covering the Broadcom ripoff after it's acquisition of VMWARE.
