📣 Nvidia Unveils the World's Most Powerful AI Chip
posted 19 Mar 2024
With the new Blackwell B200 GPU chip, artificial intelligence will be able to train 2.5 times faster and improve response generation by a factor of five compared to its predecessor, the H100.
The B200 packs 208 billion transistors, dwarfing the H100's 80 billion, yet consumes twenty-five times less energy. Additionally, the system supports linking up to 576 Blackwell-equipped video cards for efficient data exchange between them. This feature is particularly crucial for generative AI models, which require parallel processing of extensive datasets.
The press release announcing the Blackwell launch has already garnered positive feedback from Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI. The chip itself was showcased at Nvidia’s presentation in San Jose.
The entire industry is preparing for Blackwell,noted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Currently, Nvidia's market capitalization stands at approximately $2.21 trillion, positioning it as the third most valuable company globally.
