Upcoming Nvidia GTC Conference
Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, is slated to inaugurate the company's yearly GTC conference on Monday, March 18. The event, taking place at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, will feature a two-hour keynote by Huang, disclosing Nvidia's strategic roadmap for the coming year. Nvidia has historically leveraged the GTC conference to reveal some of its groundbreaking products.
Last year, Nvidia introduced its Hopper graphics architecture and the H100 graphics processing unit, which quickly became a top choice for organisations in AI model training and deployment. This year, expectations are high for Nvidia to reveal successors to both Hopper and the H100, potentially sparking renewed interest in Nvidia's products. Recently, Nvidia offered a sneak peek of its forthcoming Blackwell B100 AI GPU.
In another notable move, Nvidia has entered a strategic collaboration with Google to integrate Google's Gemma AI technology into Nvidia's product lineup.
