Nvidia announces Blackwell Ultra and Rubin AI chips
Summary
Nvidia announced new chips for building and deploying artificial intelligence models at its annual GTC conference on Tuesday. For example, Nvidia announced new laptops and desktops using its chips, including two AI-focused PCs called Spark and DGX Station that will be able to run large AI models such as Llama or DeepSeek. The company also announced updates to its networking parts for tying hundreds or thousands of GPUs together so they work as one, as well as a software package called Dynamo that helps users get the most out of their chips. Starting with Rubin, Nvidia will say that when it combines two or more dies to make a single chip, it will refer to them as separate GPUs. Nvidia says that means that cloud providers can use Blackwell Ultra to offer a premium AI service for time-sensitive applications, allowing them to make as much as 50 times the revenue from the new chips as the Hopper generation, which shipped in 2023.
