NVIDIA Claims ‘iPhone Moment of AI’ at GTC: Announces Raft of AI-related Chips, Systems and Services

Here’s a round-up of announcements delivered today at the opening of the NVIDIA GTC conference.
NVIDIA today announced what it said is a breakthrough that brings accelerated computing to the field of computational lithography that will set the foundation for 2nm chips “just as current production processes are nearing the limits of what physics makes possible,” NVIDIA said.

Running on GPUs, cuLitho delivers a performance boost of up to 40x beyond current lithography — the process of creating patterns on a silicon wafer — accelerating the massive computational workloads that currently consume tens of billions of CPU hours every year. NVIDIA said it enables 500 NVIDIA DGX H100 systems to achieve the work of 40,000 CPU systems, running all parts of the computational lithography process in parallel, helping reduce power needs and potential environmental impact.
