Nvidia CEO Touts a 'Million X' Speedup in AI

A decade ago, Google talked about "thinking in 10x." Whether it's Moore's Law or the current rate of inflation, Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang has one-upped his fellow Silicon Valley technologists by thinking in million X. According to Huang, it will have a monumental impact on biology and chemistry in the near future. Huang used a good deal of his one-hour-and-42 minute keynote at Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference (GTC) this morning to tout the company's latest GPU architecture, dubbed the H100 Hopper. Built on a thinner 4 nanometer process and featuring 80 billion transistors (68% more than the previous generation A100 GPU), the Hopper immediately becomes the premiere processor to run AI workloads.
