Huang called himself the “chief revenue destroyer” during his GTC keynote today after talking up the company’s new Blackwell architecture and taking a jab at Nvidia’s Hopper architecture which was released in March 2022.
Huang said that there are circumstances where Hopper chips are “fine” — then added “but not many” because technology is moving too fast to justify buying or running the company’s old model anymore.
“[Blackwell] is better, OK?” Huang said. “The more you buy, the more you save. It’s even better than that. Now, the more you buy, the more you make.”
