Today, Nvidia (NVDA.US) sees a 3.30% increase to $945 per share, inching closer to the $1000 per share barrier. Investor optimism is fueled by new products and projects announced during the week-long Nvidia GTC conference. During Monday's opening speech, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced:
- The introduction of a new generation of chips named GPU Blackwell.
- The premiere of the Grace Blackwell GB200 superchip.
- Blackwell products will be available through partners later this year.
- Integration of Nvidia's Omniverse with Apple's VisionPro virtual reality headset.
- Announcement of Project GR00T, focusing on the development of humanoid robots.
- Introduction of Jetson Thor, a new computer for humanoid robots.
- Expansion of partnership with Oracle to provide sovereign artificial intelligence worldwide.
- Unveiling of the new 6G Cloud Platform AI to develop artificial intelligence in wireless technology.
Blackwell chips could revolutionize the artificial intelligence industry, offering significant improvements in performance and efficiency. They are expected to greatly reduce costs and energy consumption compared to previous generations (even up to 25x). This progress could strengthen Nvidia's position in the competitive chip market, impact the company's financial results, and affect competitors. Furthermore, Blackwell's incorporation into various industries and partnerships with major companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google indicates its potential widespread application and high demand.
Analysts believe that Nvidia faces a new wave of demand driven by the revolutionary technology of the new chips. The company's potential revenues could rise to $150 billion in 2025. This optimism is fueled by Nvidia's partnerships with various countries that have recently announced record funding for AI research.
Nvidia is focusing not only on hardware but also on software ecosystems and robotics technology. During the conference, Nvidia announced the introduction of a completely new type of software, in the form of downloadable packages of specialized AI models and software platforms named by the company as NIM and NeMo.
The prospects and challenges ahead for Nvidia are certainly impressive. The company has the chance to become the undisputed industry leader and drive a new industrial revolution. These prospects are also reflected in the company's stock price, which is approaching the record level of $1000.
