The Latest and Greatest AI Chips How Fast and How Much? We’ve heard of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the computers required to carry out the job required. They consume massive power but can accomplish near-miraculous data processing tasks. But how fast and how much are values mostly unknown to most of us. Let’s look under the hood to get some idea of what’s inside. The latest and greatest NVIDIA chip, the Blackwell GB200 , is a key component of the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72, a multi-node, liquid-cooled, rack-scale system, which comprises 600,000 parts, including 72 GB200s. It's designed to be capable of delivering 720 petaflops* for training and 1.4 exaflops* for inferencing. (And it reportedly weighs 3,000 pounds – about the same as a mid-sized car .) Nvidia's Blackwell AI chip is expected to cost between $30,000 and $40,000 per unit , according to CEO Jensen Huang. This price is competitive with current Nvidia AI chips.
