Nvidia’s annual GTC conference, often dubbed the “Super Bowl of AI,” saw CEO Jensen Huang take the stage in front of 25,000 eager attendees. His highly anticipated keynote introduced Rubin, Nvidia’s latest artificial intelligence chip, which boasts three times the computing power of its predecessor, Blackwell Ultra.
During his two-hour presentation, Huang highlighted the growing demand for advanced AI computing. He noted that the world requires 100 times more AI processing power than previously estimated just a year ago. This bold claim underscores Nvidia’s push to stay ahead in the AI race.
Nvidia Expands Its Influence
Beyond hardware, Nvidia is widening its AI reach through strategic partnerships. General Motors (GM) will utilize Nvidia’s technology for its autonomous driving fleet. Meanwhile, Yum Brands, the parent company of KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, is integrating Nvidia-powered AI for voice ordering at drive-thrus and phone lines. This AI system will also help filter customer feedback and improve operational efficiency.
Market Reaction & Broader Industry Moves
Despite the revolutionary announcements, Nvidia’s stock fell more than 3% amid a broader tech sell-off. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.7%, reflecting investor concerns over high valuations in the sector.
Meanwhile, in the electric vehicle (EV) space, Tesla’s stock continued its record-breaking nine-week losing streak, as analysts fear CEO Elon Musk’s political involvement could impact consumer perception. In contrast, Chinese EV maker BYD surged to a record high in Hong Kong after revealing a fast-charging technology that enables cars to travel 250 miles on just a five-minute charge.
The Future of AI & Computing
Huang’s keynote at GTC reinforced Nvidia’s dominance in the AI chip market. As industries from automotive to fast food adopt AI-driven transformation, Nvidia is positioning itself as the backbone of the next computing revolution.
