Computex 2023: NVIDIA Keynote Address by CEO Jensen Huang

The 2023 Computex will be the first fully-fledged in-person tech expo in Taiwan in over 3 years, and there's no better event to kick it off than a Keynote address by a man who loves his job—Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of NVIDIA, a company that has broken serious ground in the areas of computer graphics, supercomputing, and AI. We are in Taipei, and we will be live-blogging the event.

"I haven't given a public speech in 4 years! Wish me luck! - Jensen"

03:05 UTC: Jensen highlights how RTX real-time ray tracing transformed accelerated ray tracing.
03:08 UTC: RTX 4060 Ti is "re-unveiled"
03:09 UTC: NVIDIA ACE (Avatar Cloud Engine) for animating digital characters using AI.
04:55 UTC:
03:10 UTC: The future of AI and MMORPGs could be incredible with digital character animations.In the near future, GPTs will drive NPCs, so you can have lengthy conversations. The GPT will follow the character's backstory.
03:13 UTC: IBM System 360 formed the basis for software investments for 60+ years. The future is AI-written software.
03:17 UTC: The computer is the data-center, not the individual server. GPU-accelerated data-centers have lower TCO.
03:24 UTC: Data-center TCO explained:
03:27 UTC: Full volume production of the H100 "Hopper" has commenced. H100 has a transformer engine within it.
03:35 UTC: Magnum IO is a data-processing/training/optimization OS.

03:38 UTC: In the future, companies will have AI development departments along the lines of HR.

03:42 UTC: Generative AI is a force of nature.
03:44 UTC: Grace Hopper GH2000 is now in full production. Nearly 200 billion transistors, with 600 GB of memory coherent between the CPU and GPU.
03:56 UTC: GH2000 will accelerate recommender engines unlike anything else.
03:59 UTC: Cadence EDA, CAE, CAD, is accelerated by Grace Hopper.
04:04 UTC: Grace HopperDGX GH200 GPU Supercomputer can play Crisis, when it's not pushing the boundaries of AI.
04:05 UTC: NVIDIA Maxine 3D video conferencing taps into AI to generate 3D faces using 2-D camera inputs.
04:10 UTC: A 5G network can run on a Grace Hopper at no "cost."

04:22 UTC: Spectrum 4 is an AI-accelerated network chip. 100 billion transistors, 128x network ports.
04:38 UTC: "You've been selling me things every time I came to Taiwan. Omniverse is the first thing I will sell you.": Jensen

04:55 UTC: This concludes the keynote.
