NVIDIA has sounded the death knell for Moore’s Law with the release of Blackwell, an AI superchip with 208 billion transistors (up from 80 billion in Hopper) across its two GPU dies, connected by 10 TB/second chip-to-chip link into a single, unified GPU.
This advanced computing platform, designed for real-time generative AI and large language model processing, offers significantly reduced cost and energy consumption, giving rise to a new era of ‘Huang’s Law’, as you may call it.
Reflecting on the rapid advancement in computing power, Huang said that in just eight years, NVIDIA has increased computational capacity by a thousandfold, a rate of progress that far exceeds the benchmarks set during the heyday of Moore's Law. He, however, suggested that even this remarkable growth is not meeting the industry's accelerating demands.
