NVIDIA unveils Blackwell aka B200

Blackwell, NVIDIA's latest computing platform, is a fusion of unprecedented computational might and unparalleled energy efficiency. At the heart of this revolutionary technology lies the Blackwell B200 chip, a marvel of integration that combines two silicon squares, each the size of NVIDIA's previous offering, into a single component. With over 208 billion transistors working in perfect harmony, the Blackwell B200 chip is poised to unleash a new era of real-time generative AI, enabling lightning-fast responses and dynamic content creation across a wide range of applications.

On a GPT-3 LLM benchmark with 175 billion parameters, Nvidia says the GB200 has a somewhat more modest seven times the performance of an H100, and Nvidia claims it offers four times the training speed.
