Major customers are expected to use the new Nvidia B200 chip in cloud computing services they sell, CEO Jensen Huang said.
Jensen Huang kicked off his company’s annual developer conference on Monday with a slew of announcements designed to keep the chip maker in a dominant position in the artificial intelligence industry.
“I hope you realise this is not a concert,” Huang said, wearing his signature leather jacket and joking that the day’s keynote would be full of dense maths and science. While the B200 “Blackwell” chip is 30 times speedier at tasks like serving up answers from chatbots, Huang did not give specific details about how well it performs when chewing through huge amounts data to train those chatbots — which is the kind of work that has powered most of Nvidia’s soaring sales. He also gave no price details.
Nvidia also is shifting from selling single chips to selling total systems. Its latest iteration houses 72 of its AI chips and 36 central processors. Though Nvidia is widely known for its hardware offerings, the company has built a significant battery of software products as well. The new software tools, called microservices, improve system efficiency across a wide variety of uses, making it easier for a business to incorporate an AI model into its work, just as a good computer operating system can help apps work well.
