Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun said in an interview on October 2 that the company's Blackwell AI chip is currently at full production, and the market demand for this chip has reached a "crazy" level. "Everyone wants to get the most, everyone wants to be the first to get the chip," said Huang Renxun. Nvidia's stock price rose about 1.6% after hours. Nvidia is expected to start mass production of Blackwell in the fourth quarter. The new processor's performance is 2.5 times that of Nvidia's Hopper chip, which was launched two years ago. (CNBC)
In terms of the production of Blackwell chips, the total testing capacity is currently about 250,000 Blackwell chips per month, and it is expected to reach a utilization rate of 60% in the fourth quarter of 2024. This means that the output of Blackwell chips may reach 450,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024, bringing Nvidia more than $10 billion in revenue opportunities!
In 2025, with the widespread application of Blackwell chips, the demand for CoWoS production capacity will further increase.
As Nvidia's new generation of AI processors, the mass production of Blackwell chips means that more AI applications can utilize the powerful computing power of this chip, thereby improving the speed and efficiency of AI model training and inference. The mass production of Blackwell chips can support more AI hardware products, such as AI accelerator cards, edge computing devices, and in-vehicle computing platforms for autonomous vehicles, to meet the AI hardware needs in different scenarios.
