At CES 2025, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang showcased its new RTX 50 series graphics cards and the Grace Blackwell NVL72 superchip. These new technologies feature the Blackwell architecture and are set to further empower the potential of AI. Huang also discussed the future of AI and the importance of NVIDIA’s NVLink technology.
NVIDIA’s superhero moment
At CES 2025, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang introduced the RTX 50 series graphics cards to the world. This new generation of graphics cards uses the Blackwell architecture. But the highlight of the show was the “Grace Blackwell NVL72” – a super level chip, which Huang showed off by lifting it up on stage in superhero style.
Superhero theme music played in the background on the stage along with this chip, making this moment even more memorable. Huang also jokingly called it “NVIDIA’s superhero shield”.
Grace Blackwell NVL72: A technological marvel
This giant chip also had a ‘disco light’ effect, which presents a unique amalgamation of technology and art. Grace Blackwell NVL72 has the following features:
- 72 Blackwell GPUs
- 2,592 CPU cores
- 576 HBM memory chips (total 14TB memory)
- Over 130 trillion transistors
Huang called it the “future of modern computing”. He said that through this technology, data processing and AI capabilities can be accelerated on a large scale.
A new thinking for AI
Talking about the future of AI, Huang said that in the coming times, AI will not only talk, but will also think on its own and process operations automatically. He said, “The demand for AI tokens is increasing rapidly. In such a situation, NVIDIA’s NVLink technology will play an important role.”
What is NVLink?
NVLink aims to reduce costs while maintaining the quality of AI models. This technology helps to import customer requirements into AI systems in an easy way and enables AI to scale at a large scale.
Thoughts
NVIDIA’s dominance in the AI industry
Recently, the demand for NVIDIA’s graphics cards and superchips in AI technology has increased rapidly. NVIDIA hardware has become indispensable for models like ChatGPT.
Impact on rival companies
This new RTX 50 series and NVL72 superchip can prove to be a big challenge for companies like AMD and Intel. NVIDIA has further strengthened its hold in the AI market.
Future of AI token economy
According to Huang, “token generation rate” will be the main determinant of AI in the coming years. Big companies will rely on NVIDIA’s technology to make AI models more powerful and affordable.
This move by NVIDIA is not just a technological advancement but also a major change in the world of AI. Products like the RTX 50 series and the Grace Blackwell NVL72 take NVIDIA’s thinking and its capabilities to new heights. It will be interesting to see how this technology will impact our daily lives and the development of AI in the times to come.
