The company - now best known for its artificial intelligence data center systems - also introduced new tools and software models on the eve of the Computex trade show in Taiwan. Nvidia sees the rise of generative AI as a new industrial revolution and expects to play a major role, the CEO said in a keynote address at National Taiwan University.
Nvidia has been the main beneficiary of a flood of AI spending, helping turn the company into the world's most valuable chipmaker. But it now looks to broaden its customer base beyond the handful of cloud-computing giants that generate much of its sales. As part of the expansion, Huang expects a larger swath of companies and government agencies to embrace AI.
'Computation inflation'
"We are seeing computation inflation," Huang said on Sunday. As the amount of data that needs to be processed grows exponentially, traditional computing methods cannot keep up and it's only through Nvidia's style of accelerated computing that we can cut back the costs, Huang said. He touted 98% cost savings and 97% less energy required with Nvidia's technology, saying that constituted "CEO math, which is not accurate, but it is correct."
Huang said the upcoming Rubin AI platform will use HBM4, the next iteration of the essential high-bandwidth memory that's grown into a bottleneck for AI accelerator production, with leader SK Hynix Inc. largely sold out through 2025.
He otherwise did not offer detailed specifications for the upcoming products, which will follow Blackwell.
