NVIDIA’s core position in the field of AI

When it comes to the infrastructure of AI technology, NVIDIA is like the engineer who builds the highway for AI, and their graphics card (GPU) is the engine that enables AI to advance rapidly!
With its leading hardware performance and complete software ecosystem, NVIDIA has become a key force in promoting the application of AI technology. At the just-concluded CES 2025, NVIDIA launched three new graphics cards, which are like equipping the fast-moving racing car of AI with a more powerful engine, exponentially improving technological innovation.

The perfect balance of performance and price: AI is about to land in the homes of ordinary people

The new products released by NVIDIA at CES not only achieve further breakthroughs in performance, but more surprisingly, the price is also greatly reduced. Taking one of the graphics cards as an example, the computing power has been increased by 15%, but the price is 200 US dollars cheaper than the previous generation!

What does this change mean? Because the operation of AI technology requires extremely strong computing power, and the graphics card is the core that supports all AI training. In the past, due to expensive equipment, only Silicon Valley technology giants could afford AI. However, with NVIDIA's announcement at CES, it can be expected that the threshold for hardware will be significantly lowered in the future, allowing more people to have the opportunity to participate in AI applications.

Whether designers, researchers, or even start-up teams, they can obtain powerful computing power at a lower cost and accelerate the realization of ideas through AI.

Software and hardware integration: How does NVIDIA lower the threshold for AI?

NVIDIA's key to lowering the threshold for AI lies not only in improving hardware performance, but also in their seamless integration of hardware and software to create a complete ecosystem, which ultimately significantly reduces costs.

NVIDIA is now like an efficient manufacturing factory. It not only has high-performance products, but also optimizes production tools and improves every process to maximize operational potential.

For example,NVIDIA's CUDA platform (CUDA, full name Compute Unified Device Architecture unified computing architecture)It's like an intelligent production line in a factory, specifically designed to help developers "squeeze out" the full potential of hardware. In the past, when training AI models, the computing efficiency may be greatly reduced due to insufficient programming design, which wastes a lot of computing resources. CUDA is like a professional process optimization tool that helps developers quickly complete efficient programming, so that every bit of computing power can be fully utilized, further shortening training time and saving costs.

And another core technology——TensorRT , can be seen as a designer who makes the final product "weightless".
Before AI applications are deployed to actual devices (such as mobile phones and smart homes), they often need to be optimized to ensure that they can run smoothly in environments with limited hardware resources. TensorRT can automatically streamline the original "huge model" into a suitable version, which not only improves operating efficiency, but also reduces the demand for hardware. In this way, the equipment cost will naturally be reduced.

In addition, NVIDIA’s focus on hardware productionsupply chainIn-depth optimization has also been carried out. They use more sophisticated chip process technology to make each graphics card more dense in performance, which means they use less material to make a more powerful product.
At the same time, mass production and global sales layout have also further reduced manufacturing and logistics costs.
The accumulation of these details allows NVIDIA to launch products with stronger performance but lower prices.

To use a simple metaphor, NVIDIA is not only a "car builder" but also a "road builder."
They use hardware to provide powerful basic performance, use software to solve high-threshold problems in applications, and then use efficient production and optimization technology to reduce costs, ultimately allowing AI technology to move from the laboratory into daily life and become something that everyone can control. tools.

How does NVIDIA drive AI technology progress?

1. Promote the development of AI research

The growth process of AI is like cultivating a talented student, which requires a lot of practice and testing.
In the past, training a deep learning model may take weeks or even months, but with the continuous updates of NVIDIA's high-performance GPUs, this process has been greatly compressed. You can think of NVIDIA's GPUs as gym equipment, helping AI models quickly build muscles and improve abilities. This means that if CPU performance increases, researchers will have more time to try new ideas and explore unknown areas, instead of being stuck waiting for long calculations. Such efficiency improvements not only benefit academia, but also double the rate of technological progress in the entire industry.

2. Improve the performance of AI applications

At this stage, the expectations for the application of AI are far beyond the completion of work, and it must also be able to respond quickly and accurately, especially in scenarios that require instant judgment: for example, self-driving vehicles need to process a large amount of data within milliseconds, including road conditions and obstacles. objects, traffic lights, etc. There is a danger if the reaction is too slow.
NVIDIA's GPU and edge computing technology are the core of this efficient response: GPU allows AI models to complete complex operations in a very short time, while edge computing can place data processing close to the user (such as in the car) processor), avoiding delays in remote transmission and ensuring real-time performance.

This efficient architecture not only makes autonomous driving safer, but is also suitable for other scenarios that require real-time computing, such as traffic control in smart cities and condition analysis in medical diagnosis systems.

3. Promote the implementation of generative AI

Take generative AI like ChatGPT or MidJourney as an example. They need to process huge amounts of language or image data and generate results in a very short time. This process requires extremely fast speed and huge computing power to complete, and NVIDIA makes these calculations faster and cheaper by optimizing the hardware architecture.

For example, it used to take several minutes to create a high-quality image using generative AI, but through optimization of the hardware architecture, it can now basically take a few seconds to complete an exquisite generative image. Not only does it reduce the cost of using generative AI, it also lowers the threshold for use.

What’s next for AI and NVIDIA?

Judging from this CES release, NVIDIA’s development direction has been very clear:

  1. Stronger hardware foundation
    Future graphics cards will continue to improve performance while reducing costs, allowing more people to participate in the application of AI technology.
  2. Further improvement of the ecosystem
    NVIDIA is building a complete AI development environment, from model training to deployment, which can be completed on their platform, greatly simplifying the application process of AI technology.
  3. Explore emerging areas
    The potential of AI is not limited to current applications, but may also play a greater role in medical care, education, environmental protection and other fields in the future. For example, AI-assisted medical image analysis has begun to help doctors diagnose diseases more accurately, and the implementation of these technologies relies on efficient computing.

The core force driving the AI era

From the CES 2025 display, we can see that NVIDIA has transcended the role of hardware manufacturing and has become an important engine for the advancement of AI technology. By improving hardware performance, improving the software ecosystem, and lowering technical barriers, NVIDIA is building an AI growth flywheel that everyone can participate in.

But the development of technology is not only a competition of speed, but also requires thinking about how to bring broader benefits to all mankind. Issues ranging from how to fairly allocate resources to paying attention to the privacy of training data will remind us that even if AI brings great convenience, we need to further think about how to use these powerful tools more responsibly.

NVIDIA's technology and products have provided a strong foundation for the changes of this era, but how it will develop in the future ultimately depends on how we use these tools to create a smarter, but also more inclusive world.
