NVIDIA Begins Sampling Its Next-Gen AI Powerhouse, Blackwell, All Over The World, Mass Production On-Track
NVIDIA will begin sampling the first Blackwell AI accelerators across the globe this week as the firm demonstrates unparalleled performance with its next-gen architecture.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Provides Update On Blackwell At The SIGGRAPH, Sampling Starts This Week, Also Reveals Several New "AI Bits"
It was a delight to see NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang on the stage during the SIGGRAPH 2024, where Team Green showed how the AI hype will lead to the transformation of the business industry.

Since SIGGRAPH is more focused on the "software side of things," NVIDIA didn't go much into the progress of its AI products; however, it did give us a glimpse of what's happening with the Blackwell architecture, stating that the firm expects engineering samples to be sent to customers all over the world by this week, showing that the debut of the products is closer than ever.
NVIDIA's Blackwell AI products are set to be the most "successful" ones in the firm's history since the firm has already bagged massive demand in the pre-release period, with the likes of Meta, Microsoft, and Google rushing towards the AI giant in order to reserve their slots.
The supply chain is already gearing up for yet again another "gold rush", with partners such as TSMC and SK hynix upscaling their production facilities massively. So, it's safe to say that NVIDIA & Blackwell will yet again replicate the same financial results as brought in by Hopper products, but probably two to five times, maybe even greater.
Apart from Blackwell, NVIDIA also announced progress in its "AI factory" ecosystem, with the addition of features expected to increase generative AI capabilities in NVIDIA's NIM inference microservices. Through this, the firm expects the adoption of AI into industrial workloads, ultimately expanding the influence of the technology to new domains, further fueling the progress.
