NVIDIA Blackwell
NVIDIA Blackwell is a GPU architecture from NVIDIA for data centers and AI that succeeded the Hopper architecture.
NVIDIA Blackwell is a GPU architecture that NVIDIA announced in March 2024 as the successor to its Hopper generation. It is named after the American mathematician and statistician David Blackwell. The architecture underpins data center products such as the B200 and GB200 as well as consumer graphics cards in the GeForce RTX 50 series. The GB200 is a superchip that pairs a Grace CPU with Blackwell GPUs, and the GB300 uses the higher-performance Blackwell Ultra.
It was designed primarily for training and running large AI models, and cloud providers rent out GPUs based on it.
