In recent months, the financial performance of Nvidia Corp. stock has put the industry on notice. The company has been making big moves, and it’s no surprise that more than 16,000 people wanted to see what’s next at this year’s Nvidia GTC, which ran from March 18 to 21.The jam-packed event featured a keynote from CEO Jensen Huang, who declared the event the “conference for the era of AI.” It’s an amazing time in the tech industry, but the event delivered in terms of setting the tone for where artificial intelligence systems are going, according to theCUBE Research executive analyst John Furrier (pictured, right)

Nvidia Corp.’s annual GTC event has evolved from a developer conference to an industry artificial intelligence trade show with a cultlike atmosphere and incredible momentum, and that trend was starkly apparent this week as more than 16,000 attend in person for the first time in years and as many as 300,000 look on virtually.That’s according to theCUBE Research analysts John Furrier (pictured, left) and Zeus Kerravala (right), who are both at the event this week in San Jose. AI is just another form of accelerated computing, and nobody does it better than Nvidia, they said.“It’s all things accelerated computing and that’s really I think the nuance that people miss a lot,” Kerravala said

Generative artificial intelligence models will become more powerful than ever, thanks to a new, more advanced architecture for graphics processing units announced by Nvidia Corp. today.The company unveiled its all-new Blackwell GPU architecture (pictured) at its GTC 2024 event today, saying it’s based on six transformative new technologies that will bring accelerated computing to the next level. With the new Blackwell GPUs, companies will be able to run real-time generative AI powered by more expansive, 1 trillion-parameter large language models, with an impressive 25-times lower cost and power consumption than Nvidia’s existing H100 GPUs, based on the older Grace Hopper architecture
