Live coverage of the NVIDIA Computex 2024 keynote!
Despite the flight delay, I managed to make it to NVIDIA's exclusive Keynote at Computex 2024. Join me as I cover it live at the NTU (National Taiwan University) Sports Center here in downtown Taipei!
5:35 pm: It's a rainy, gloomy day, but NVIDIA's keynote at Computex 2024 is fully booked!
Recommended : AMD Computex 2024 Q&A with Dr. Lisa Su!
5:55 PM: The waiting area is full of people! 😅
6:15 pm: Finally get a chance to catch up with old friends 😆
6:23 pm: Inside the NVIDIA conference room, NTU Sports Center
6:57 pm: The MC just announced that NVIDIA's keynote for Computex 2024 is about to begin… Stay tuned!
7:10 pm: The NVIDIA main event has just started with an intro video!
7:12 p.m.: Jensen Huang appears on stage.

7:15 pm: Jensen Huang starts the Omniverse demo which he said is created entirely using computer graphics.
7:18 pm: Jensen Huang made a joke about the video and said in Hokkien: It's not so bad, right? Beh pai kuah hoh?
7:20 PM: Jensen Huang talks about the dangers of computational inflation, due to slowing CPU scaling (performance).
19:25: Huang's law? The more you buy, the more you save. 😆
7:35: Jensen Huang – CUDA has achieved the virtuous cycle.
7:36: Jensen Huang introduces NVIDIA Earth-2, a digital twin of planet Earth, built on his Corridiff AI. Interestingly, the world is focused on Malaysia!
7:40: Jensen said that while he was writing the words, AI was used to make him appear to be speaking in Mandarin in that Earth-2 video.
7:50 pm: Tesla invented an AC generator, NVIDIA invented an AI generator.
19:51: The $3 trillion IT industry will soon support $100 trillion of industry.
19:53: The computer industry has reinvented itself. In the past, computers retrieved existing data, while in the future, computers will generate data. Generative AI will drive a complete reinvention.
7:54 pm: NVIDIA Inference Microservice (NIM) delivers pre-trained AI models, packaged and optimized to run on the CUDA installed base.
20:02: Jensen Huang shows off the ultra-realism of NVIDIA's current “digital humans.”
8:14 pm: Jensen Huang shows off a production unit of the NVIDIA Blackwell DB200 superchip, which features two Blackwell GPUs and a Grace CPU.
20:16: NVIDIA Blackwell reduced the energy needed to train GPT4-1.8T by 350 times in the last 8 years.
8:20 pm: The NVIDIA DGX Blackwell GB200 superchip offers significantly higher performance in a single GPU domain than the previous DGX Hopper.
8:24 pm: Jensen Huang shows off the huge NVLink column used in NVIDIA DGX Blackwell.
8:30 pm: NVIDIA Spectrum-X switches will scan from tens of thousands of GPUs (Spectrum-X800) to hundreds of thousands of GPUs in next year's Spectrum-X800 Ultra, and the future Spectrum-X1600 will support millions of GPUs.
8:34 pm: NVIDIA continues its year-long pace for data center platforms, which are designed to be fully integrated but offered to customers as non-segregated options.
20:37: NVIDIA will introduce the Blackwell Ultra GPU next year, with the Spectrum X-1600 switch.
8:38 pm: Jensen Huang reveals that Rubin is the codename for NVIDIA's post-Blackwell platform!
8:47 pm: The video shows the new Foxconn factory designed with NVIDIA Omniverse. The Omniverse Digital Twin is also used to train its robots.
8:54 pm: Jensen Huang shows examples of humanoid robots, as well as more “conventional” looking robots.
8:55 pm: The video shows Taiwan's contribution to NVIDIA's success story. The audience applauds enthusiastically at the end of the video.
20:57: NVIDIA Keynote ends! Thanks for staying tuned!
