The California-based company made its announcement at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote was an early must-see event at the globe’s biggest tech showcase. With its new Vera Rubin product, first announced in September, Nvidia is seeking to lock in its dominance of the AI chip business. The company currently holds an estimated 80 per cent of the global market for AI data center chips. However, Nvidia faces mounting pressure from multiple fronts, with traditional chip-making rivals like AMD and Intel pushing hard to compete. Meanwhile, Nvidia’s biggest customers – Google, Amazon, and Microsoft – are increasingly developing their own chips to reduce their dependence on the company.China is also racing to build domestic alternatives to Nvidia products, which have faced US export restrictions, hobbling the Chinese tech sector.

The company promises that the Rubin product will run five times more efficiently than previous offerings, a key performance metric as the energy needs related to AI become an increasing concern. The platform itself comprises “six chips that make one AI supercomputer,” said Dion Harris, Nvidia’s director of data center and high-performance computing. These will “meet the needs of the most advanced models and drive down the cost of intelligence,” he added. Since ChatGPT’s release in 2022, Nvidia has been updating its product line at a furious pace, raising questions about whether tech companies building AI models can afford to keep their technology state-of-the-art. — AFP
