NVIDIA

Nvidia to Design New AI Chips Every Year

Nvidia has announced plans to design and release new AI chips on an annual basis. This decision marks a significant acceleration from the company's previous strategy of introducing new chip architectures roughly once every two years.

Details:

• The announcement comes on the heels of Nvidia's record-breaking $14 billion profit in a single quarter, driven primarily by sales of its AI chips.

• This decision was revealed by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during the company's Q1 2025 earnings call.

• Huang cited the immense demand for Nvidia's AI GPUs, with some customers purchasing or planning to purchase over 100,000 units of the H100 GPU by the end of the year.

• The new chips will be “electrically and mechanically backward-compatible” and run the same software as previous generations, allowing for an easy transition.

The company's plans to accelerate AI chip production will surely help maintain its lead in a field where it is already far ahead of its competitors.
