Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says we'll soon see 1 million GPU data centers visible from space

Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has large plans for the AI information halfway industry. During the company’s GTC conference, the spot giant’s enforcement and co-founder debuted Nvidia’s Spectrum-X and Quantum-X silicon photonics networking systems.

Networking switches link aggregate Nvidia graphics chips unneurotic to enactment arsenic 1 elephantine system. Huang says Spectrum-X and Quantum-X photonics tin articulation hundreds and adjacent thousands of GPUs and volition alteration information halfway companies to deploy up to 1 cardinal GPU clusters.

That’s a monolithic leap from the existent largest AI supercomputer, xAI’s Colossus, which is made up of 100,000 Nvidia Hopper GPUs. And according to Huang, those cardinal clump information centers volition beryllium connected to different million-dollar information centers adjacent to signifier monolithic information halfway facilities.

“Over the adjacent respective years, we're going to beryllium gathering elephantine AI factories. Not mean AI factories … ones you spot from space,” Huang explained.

The CEO spent a bully woody of his clip connected signifier during his GTC keynote explaining however Nvidia’s latest advancements, ranging from Spectrum-X and Quantum-X photonics to its Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin superchips, volition assistance the company’s customers, including unreality work providers similar Microsoft and Google, run ever-more-powerful AI systems to thrust amended gross opportunities.

“AI factories are straight related to revenue, and if the throughput is not good, your gross is hurt. If you don't person capable capacity, your gross is hurt. If you're not producing thing of large worth ... your gross is hurt,” Huang said.

The CEO equated AI factories to car plants, explaining however if automakers don’t person the close factories and products connected offer, their revenues volition suffer.

”This could use to a car company. If your capableness is not precocious enough, your gross is hurt. If your utilization is not good, your gross is hurt. if you physique a car, cipher wants to bargain it, your gross is hurt,” helium explained.

“It's a factory. Except it's a mill of tokens. It's a caller world. An concern revolution.”

That concern gyration won’t conscionable instrumentality spot wrong of information centers though. In summation to its chips for monolithic server systems, Nvidia besides showed disconnected a fistful of smaller AI-centered computers, including its mini desktop-sized DGX Spark and full-size desktop-sized DGX Station.

Packed with Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell ace chips, the computers are designed for AI developers and researchers. And erstwhile paired with the company’s different AI platforms, they marque up a caller attack to endeavor IT that revolves astir AI.
