Nvidia says the Blackwell B200 is up to 30 times speedier than its previous chip.

SAN JOSE - Artificial intelligence semiconductor powerhouse Nvidia on March 18 unveiled a flagship AI chip, the Blackwell B200, saying it is up to 30 times speedier than its previous chip.

The B200 takes two chips the size of Nvidia’s previous offering and binds them together into a single chip. “But it reinforces that this company is still at the cutting edge and the leader in all graphics processing. That doesn’t mean the market is not going to be big enough for AMD and others to come in. But it shows that their lead is pretty insurmountable,” said Mr Plumb.

Nvidia also is shifting from selling single chips to selling total systems. Its latest iteration houses 72 of its AI chips, 36 central processors and contains 600,000 parts and weighs 1,361kg. Nvidia’s shares have surged 240 per cent over the past 12 months, making Nvidia the US stock market’s third-most valuable company, behind only Microsoft and Apple.

European and American Companies Flock to Malaysia's Electronics Manufacturing MeccaConstruction cranes still surround the brand-new plant in Kulim’s industrial park in Malaysia. But inside, legions of workers hired by Austrian tech giant AT&S are already gearing up to produce at full capacity by year’s end.
