Nvidia Showcases Latest AI Chips, Unveils GM Partnership at GTC Conference | Global News Avenue

nvidia(NVDA) provides the latest perspective on today’s chip production giant, CEO Jensen Huang presented the Blackwell Ultra and subsequent AI chips at the company meeting.

Nvidia’s Blackwell super GB300 Family semiconductor Huang said at the company’s GPU technology conference that it will have half and half times the current Blackwell series and offer much higher performance than the current Blackwell line. NVIDIA expects the Blackwell Ultra to be launched in the second half of 2025.

Today’s news lays the foundation for the next generation of NVIDIA CPU–GPU Huang said the platform is known as Vera Rubin and is scheduled for the second half of 2026 and a year later on the Rubin Ultra GPU. Blackwell’s calculation power is 68 times that of his hopper line, while Rubin increases by 900 times, he said. (Vera Rubin is the astronomer who discovered dark matter; Huang said that a later line would be named after physicist Richard Feynman.)

Huang told the crowd that the week-long GPU technology conference represents the “Super Bowl of AI” and Nvidia expects a total of 25,000 at the McNary Convention Center in San Jose. The NVIDIA CEO made his keynote on the stage, wearing a black leather jacket, a wardrobe twist that has become a personal trademark.

Huang pointed out on Tuesday that demand for NVIDIA GPUs is also surging. The company shipped 3.6 million Blackwell GPUs to Microsoft (Microsoft), the four largest cloud service providers in the United States (Microsoft),MSFT),letter(GOOGL), Amazon (Amzn) and meta(Yuan) – In its fiscal year 2025, the fiscal year ended in late January. This is the 1.3 million hopper GPUs the previous year.

NVIDIA also revealed its partnership with General Motors (General) Train AI manufacturing models. Huang said the goal is to build a “future autonomous vehicle fleet” for automakers. “It’s time for self-driving cars.”

NVIDIA shares fell more than 2% in recent trading on Tuesday, with shares down about 13% this year. Ahead of the meeting, Bank of America analysts said its recent decline could offer investors the opportunity to buy dipping sauce, reiterating the $200 price target, higher than the $177 consensus of the visible Alpha tracked analysts.
