NVIDIA Wins Multiple COMPUTEX Best Choice Awards

[T0@st]

NVIDIA today received multiple accolades at COMPUTEX's Best Choice Awards, in recognition of innovation across the company. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU won the Gaming and Entertainment category award; the NVIDIA Quantum-X Photonics InfiniBand switch system won the Networking and Communication category award; NVIDIA DGX Spark won the Computer and System category award; and the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system and NVIDIA Cosmos world foundation model development platform won Golden Awards. The awards recognize the outstanding functionality, innovation and market promise of technologies in each category. Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, will deliver a keynote at COMPUTEX on Monday, May 19, at 11 a.m. Taiwan time.

GB200 NVL72 and NVIDIA Cosmos Go Gold
NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 and NVIDIA Cosmos each won Golden Awards. The NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system connects 36 NVIDIA Grace CPUs and 72 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs in a rack-scale design. It delivers 1.4 exaflops of AI performance and 30 terabytes of fast memory, as well as 30x faster real-time trillion-parameter large language model inference with 25x energy efficiency compared with the NVIDIA H100 GPU. By design, the GB200 NVL72 accelerates the most compute-intensive AI and high-performance computing workloads, including AI training and data processing for engineering design and simulation. NVIDIA Cosmos accelerates physical AI development by enabling developers to build and deploy world foundation models with unprecedented speed and scale.




Pretrained on 9,000 trillion tokens of robotics and driving data, Cosmos world foundation models can rapidly generate synthetic, physics-based data or be post-trained for downstream robotics and autonomous vehicle foundation models, significantly reducing development time and the costs of real-world data collection.

The platform's accelerated video data processing pipeline can process and label 20 million hours of video in just two weeks, a task that would otherwise take over three years with CPU-only systems.

Spotlighting NVIDIA Technologies
All the NVIDIA technologies nominated—including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, NVIDIA Quantum-X Photonics InfiniBand switch system and NVIDIA DGX Spark—won in their respective categories. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, built on NVIDIA Blackwell architecture and equipped with ultra-fast GDDR7 memory, delivers powerful gaming and creative performance. It features fifth-generation Tensor Cores and a 512-bit memory bus, enabling high-performance gaming and AI-accelerated workloads with next-generation ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS 4 technologies.

The NVIDIA Quantum-X Photonics Q3450-LD InfiniBand switch advances data center networking for the agentic AI era with co-packaged optics. By integrating silicon photonics directly with the InfiniBand switch ASIC, the Q3450-LD eliminates the need for pluggable optical transceivers—reducing electrical loss, enhancing signal integrity and improving overall power and thermal efficiency.

NVIDIA DGX Spark is a personal AI supercomputer, bringing the power of the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell architecture to desktops to enable researchers, developers and students to prototype, fine-tune and run advanced AI models locally with up to 1,000 trillion operations per second of performance.

With its compact, power-efficient design and seamless integration into the NVIDIA AI ecosystem, DGX Spark empowers users to accelerate generative and physical AI workloads—whether working at the desk, in the lab or deploying to the cloud.

Best choice for missing hardware and melted power connectors ?

 

[kikimaru024]

Nothing like winning awards 2 weeks before the show even starts.

 

[Hecate91]

I wonder how much Nvidia paid for those awards.

 

[blinnbanir]

 

[Vya Domus]

That's genuinely laughable. You pay a gazillion dollars to get the same performance from 3 years ago.

You are aware the power connector issue is mostly confined to people building their own computers who obviously had no business building their own computers. AKA gamers. And gamers do not really matter anymore. Prepare to rent a GPU in the cloud for your PC gaming.

 

[Frizz]

They won the race and was the only one participating lol

 

[Quicks]

Well done now they only need to Make it work with their drivers.

 

[Rightness_1]

NV - Best for profit and gaslighting.

 

[Prima.Vera]

That's genuinely laughable. You pay a gazillion dollars to get the same performance from 3 years ago.

But you have now 3x and 4x more fake frames to get your lagged gameplay experience up!!

That's exactly what I love about the whole fake frames thing is that you need the game running at 60fps, which is the problem in the first place, or otherwise you wouldn't be wanting fake frames anyway.

My RTX2070 is end of life, as I struggle to get more than 30-40fps in most modern games now, because I have an ultrawide monitor, and already have to use DLSS performance to stand a chance of a good framerate, and I can't even use fake frames in the first place, as I don't have the VRAM nor the performance!

Only the 40x0 series and above supports fake frames, and FSR fake frames support in games you can count with one hand.

That's just another NV lie. There is a way of getting fake frames on "un supported" cards, and it's a sheetshow if the game can't render enough real FPS, as the lag just becomes too much, even if "looks" smooth. It works well on older games though. Fake frames has it's own demands upon the card, so you loose a good 5-15% of your base FPS when you enable it. I've heard the same for the official methods on modern cards.

not entirely the case , many people with 144/240Hz monitors don´t want to play their games at 60-80 FPS
so they just might enable "fake frames" .
you only run into problems when the native FPS the graphics card is able to generate drop below a certain trash hold (say 30FPS for reference) and than yes
you will be getting a laggy slide show indeed despite having gazillion fake frames on paper .

Well, the name Nvidia being based off the word envy sure holds true to this day based off the comments.

Funny that, eh?

I dont think anyone is envying NVIDIA right now with how they're treating their customers. Like the company or not, they have done some weird stuff, man. Doesn't make them worse than AMD or Intel though (Intel is by far the worst one in a moral regard if were not counting purely GPU history alone. But then again, trying to use morality against a corporation is a losing scenario for you. Corporations do 'bad' things to get things done unfortunately. Not all, but definitely gets things done faster.)

I dont think its surprising NVIDIA won awards at computex, and multiple at that. AI is 'the thing', the tech ceo's want it, the investors want it, us people are kind of mixed on it, its a win / win for the people who have the most money. NVIDIA is just there to supply them.

I do think its funny though the idea that NVIDIA 'bought' those awards, but they definitely won them. But then again, after stuff like the oscars and etc, I dont take awards that seriously anymore. It's not like their compeitors are innovating in tech right now anyway, just refining. AMD is chipping away at their stuff, and Intel is doing what Intel always does; be a fish out of water ever since Ryzen dropped.
