Product Launch
Blackwell turns the AI accelerator into a rack-scale system
Nvidia introduced Blackwell GPUs and tightly connected systems designed for training and serving larger generative models.
Blackwell emphasised high-speed links, large memory pools and complete rack-scale infrastructure. Competitors including AMD, Google, Amazon and Microsoft accelerated alternative processors, but success increasingly depended on software, networking and supply commitments as much as raw silicon.Sources & references 1 source
