Last year Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said "AI was about to have its iPhone moment", and this year that prediction is coming true. Things stepped up a gear at the recent Nvidia GTC conference in San Jose where the tech giant revealed its new Blackwell series of AI 'superchips', which can be used to train advanced, even more powerful AI models of GPT, Claude and Gemini.
Oh, and these superchips can be used to run humanoid robots - has Nvidia founder and Jensen not seen The Terminator? But if robots dream of electric sheep Jensen dreams of dollars, and wild new and powerful tech of course. It's been revealed the Blackwell chips have cost Nvidia over $10 billion to research and make, and each one of its higher spec GB200 GPUs - the superchips - will cost between $40,000 - $50,000.
