New Delhi: NVIDIA has introduced a new generation of artificial intelligence Superchips and software for running AI models. The world’s most powerful AI chip, the Blackwell B200, features a remarkable 20 petaflops of FP4 power, which is about 30 times faster than the current flagship H100 and 25 times more power-efficient.
The newly launched AI Superchips will replace the Hopper (Graphics Processing Unit), which significantly boosted Nvidia’s sales.
The pack has two Blackwell chips: the Blackwell B200 GPU and the GB200 Superchip. The first Blackwell chip, called the GB200, will ship later this year.
