Nvidia's fastest AI chip ever could cost a rather reasonable $40,000 — but chances that you will actually be able to buy one on its own are very, very low and for a good reason

Nvidia Blackwell GPU.

In a recent interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang shared details about the company’s upcoming Blackwell chip which cost $10 billion in research and development to create.

The new GPU, which is built on a custom 4NP TSMC process and packs a total of 208 billion transistors (104 billion per die), with 192GB of HMB3e memory and 8TB/s of memory bandwidth, involved the creation of new technology because what the company was trying to achieve “went beyond the limits of physics,” Huang said.
