NVIDIA's Blackwell AI servers are now in full production, being offered by fifteen different mainstream partners in more than 200 configurations.
NVIDIA's Blackwell AI Servers Have Brought In Massive Performance & Scalability, 4x Improvement From Hopper Generation
Well, despite setbacks, it seems like NVIDIA's Blackwell AI servers are finally inside the mainstream AI markets, as Team Green announces full production at its recent CES 2025 keynote.
Jensen revealed that more than fifteen partners, including Dell, ASUS, and many others, are offering complete configurations for Blackwell servers, and this means that industry adoption is kicking away, which is undoubtedly great for NVIDIA and its AI ambitions. Jensen also showed off a Grace Blackwell chip, and it was certainly an architectural marvel.
An interesting fact noted by NVIDIA is that Blackwell's AI servers, which are notably being shipped out in two different settings, NVL36x2 and NVL72, are said to be available in more than 200 configurations.
This includes air-cooled, liquid-cooled, and different Grace CPU options, all targeted at providing the optimal choice to clients, depending upon their workloads. As NVIDIA mentioned, Blackwell offers an immense jump in performance scalability, bringing in a 4x improvement from the previous generation, which will ultimately translate into higher revenue.
For those unaware, NVIDIA's Blackwell AI servers encountered several issues back in Q4 2024, which is why the volume available to the markets was much lower than at current times.
Initially, it was claimed that there was an issue with TSMC's packaging service, which is why Blackwell chips encountered thermal problems, but this claim was refuted after a few weeks. Despite this, it seems like NVIDIA has finally found its way back to the mainstream markets.
Now that Blackwell's AI servers are on their way to AI customers, this will surely bring higher revenue figures for NVIDIA in general, given that NVL36 and NVL72 configurations are said to be much costlier compared to their previous-gen counterparts. It will be interesting to see what kind of marvels the AI segment achieves with this much compute power onboard, and it will certainly lead to new advancements.
