So one of the reasons why a GPU is able to ‘accelerate’ computations that CPUs struggle with, is that GPUs are built from the ground up for parallel processing graphics.
So this kind of comp sci talk is fascinating to me, but I kind of get why this isn’t an official Computex keynote. This is effectively a microarchitecture lecture, so if your eyes are starting to glaze over, I definitely get that. However, what Jensen is talking about is how Nvidia went from a $100 billion company to a $2 trillion dollar company in like 18 months.
Computation inflation, huh? Well, it’s as good an analogy for the end of Moore’s Law as any.
Omniverse is Nvidia’s industrial rendering and simulation Big Thing, so unless you’ve got to lay out a real factory, and not just play at it in Satisfactory, then Omniverse is for you. For the rest of us, not so much.
Did y’all know that Nvidia is getting really into AI? Well, if you didn’t, you’re going to hear all about it. And I mean all about it. I guarantee that 95% of this keynote is going to be strictly AI stuff.
I think that’s the first time I’ve seen Jensen not wearing his leather jacket.
OK, the livestream is starting up, so here we go.
Also, shout out to Bogart’s Smokehouse in Nangang, Taipei. Best BBQ I’ve had since I was in school in Texas. It’s always nice to walk past all the noodle shops and dumpling spots in the city and then stumble upon a little taste of home.
Still holding on the livestream, so in the meantime, let me tell you, it has been raining like crazy for the past couple days here in Taipei. Hopefully the weather clears up for the conference this week, though the weather forecast doesn’t look so hot.
OK, we’re about to get underway in a few moments, though it looks like the livestream is running a bit behind.
Welcome to Computex 2024, folks! This is John, TechRadar’s components editor, and I’m on the ground in Taipei for the biggest computing event of the year, Computex 2024.
Tonight’s event will be held at the NTU Sports Center at National Taiwan University, which was already full to capacity before I even knew we could register for it, so I’ll be watching it live alongside the rest of you. On the plus side, that also means I don’t have to leave my very nice, air-conditioned hotel room, which is a blessing after the heat of the past two days.
You can follow along with the video above and keep it right here as I dig into any news Nvidia breaks during this event and give my gut-level analysis as it happens.
