Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, made the announcement at the Taipei Music Centre, the site of the Computex AI exhibition, which also runs from May 20 to 23. In addition to the new tech production, Huang announced the company’s plan for building a Taiwan HQ in the northern suburbs of Taipei.
In his speech, Jensen talked about the company’s history of building AI chips and systems and the software the company has built to support it. Huang also mentioned that his presentation previously used to take up 90% of their time on the company’s graphic chips, even though this has changed.
Now, Nvidia has developed beyond its roots as a video game graphics chip maker into the dominant producer of chips that have powered the AI frenzy that has gripped the tech industry since ChatGPT’s launch in 2022.
Nvidia has also been designing CPUs that would run Microsoft’s Windows operating system and use technology from Arm Holdings, as Reuters has reported.
Even more so, at Computex last year, Nvidia’s CEO triggered “Jensanity” in Taiwan, explained as frenzied among its fans, and Huang was also being mobbed by attendees from the show.
It is also worth noting that during the annual developer conference in March, Huang also outlined how Nvidia would position itself in order to meet the switch in computing needs that comes from building large AI models to running applications based on them.
He also presented several new generations of AI chips, among which was the Blackwell Ultra, which will become available later. The company’s new chip, called Rubin, will also be followed by Feynman processors, which are set to be launched in 2028.
