Nvidia introduces new super-powerful chip for artificial intelligence

American graphics processor manufacturer Nvidia has introduced a new generation of Blackwell microchips. According to the company itself, this is the most powerful chip in the world today. Blackwell is intended primarily for developments in the field of artificial intelligence.
The Blackwell platform, which includes the corresponding software, is designed for ultra-fast computing. The processor itself has 208 billion transistors. The previous model H100 had 80 billion of them (released in 2022).
This means Blackwell can provide twice the power when training AI models. It will also increase the speed at which models like ChatGPT respond to queries by five times.
According to the company's CEO Jensen Huang, the Nvidia south africa number data GB200 "superchip" will combine two Blackwell GPUs with the company's Grace CPU.
Nvidia's new development is designed to make a breakthrough in big data processing, engineering modeling, drug development, quartet computing, and generative artificial intelligence.
“ accelerated computing to enable revolutionary breakthroughs like deep machine learning and artificial intelligence,” Huang said at a presentation in San Jose, California.
He added that generative artificial intelligence is the defining technology of today, and Blackwell is the engine of a new industrial revolution.
In addition to Nvidia, chips for training and running AI products are being developed by giants such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple. But the solutions of these technology companies lag far behind Nvidia's products. In terms of power, they cannot even match the previous H100 model, which currently underlies most existing AI services.
