Blackwell systems emerge, Rubin is teased

At the massive Computex IT hardware show, Nvidia unveiled new Blackwell-powered systems that, it said, will allow enterprises to build “AI factories” and data centers to drive the next wave of generative AI.

Nvidia also announced that its Nvidia MGX modular reference design platform, announced at the 2003 Computex show, now supports Blackwell products. It launched the new Nvidia GB200 NVL2 platform, a smaller version of the GB200 NVL72 introduced in March, that it said will speed up data processing by up to 18x, with 8x better energy efficiency compared to using x86 CPUs.
