Nvidia says some AI GPUs are ‘sold out,’ grows data center business by B in just three months

Nvidia says some AI GPUs are ‘sold out,’ grows data center business by $10B in just three months

Published by Webster

Nvidia just sold more AI chips than it’s ever sold before, blowing past its own estimates in today’s Q3 2026 earnings. Not only did it pull in a record $57 billion in revenue — and roughly $4,000 of pure profit per second — it grew its data center business by $10 billion in a single quarter alone. It reported a record $51.2 billion from that data center business, a 66 percent increase over last year. A lot of eyes are on Nvidia’s data center revenue right now as a bellwether for the “AI bubble” as a whole. Nvidia doesn’t seem to expect its data center growth to slow down despite fears of that bubble popping — its Q4 outlook is a whopping $65 billion, which would require it to grow quarterly revenue by another $8 billion in just three more months. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the company’s selling every AI server chip it can make: “Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out.” Turns out that doesn’t literally mean Blackwell …

Razer’s new Blade 18 offers Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs and a dual mode display

Razer’s new Blade 18 offers Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs and a dual mode display

Published by Webster

Razer is adding a fresh gaming laptop to the pile of new models up for preorder today: the Blade 18. Like its smaller (but far from small) Blade 16 cousin, the new Razer Blade 18 will come with Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs and Intel Arrow Lake CPUs. But one major way it differs is its large 18-inch display, which has dual modes allowing it to run at either 3840 x 2400 at 240Hz or 1920 x 1200 at 440Hz. The Blade 18 will start at $3,199.99 with an RTX 5070 Ti and climb to $4,499.99 with an RTX 5090. But if either the Blade 18 or the already announced $2,799.99 Blade 16 are the right pricey option for you, you’ll have to wait until late-April for them to actually ship. Razer isn’t the only PC manufacturer offering new gaming laptops for preorder today. As Nvidia already teased, a variety of new notebooks sporting RTX 50-series GPUs now have finalized pricing, and there are fresh offerings from the likes of Asus ROG, MSI, and HP. Back …

Nvidia is launching ‘priority access’ to help fans buy RTX 5080 and 5090 FE GPUs

Nvidia is launching ‘priority access’ to help fans buy RTX 5080 and 5090 FE GPUs

Published by Webster

Like a similar Verified Priority Access program for the RTX 4090, the new program is invite-only, but this time you’ll apply for access by filling out this form rather than being pre-selected. The site will check that you’ve already had an Nvidia account (accounts created after January 30th need not apply) and ask you whether you’d prefer a 5090 or a 5080. Then, it’ll apparently use an algorithm to figure out if you’re a real gamer (analyzing your Nvidia app / GeForce Experience use) before offering a card. Limit one per person. “Invites will begin rolling out next week,” writes Nvidia. The company doesn’t say how many cards have been allocated to this program, so it’s difficult to tell if this is a meaningful way to get cards to gamers rather than scalpers.

South Korea aims to secure 10,000 GPUs for national AI computing centre | Technology News

South Korea aims to secure 10,000 GPUs for national AI computing centre | Technology News

Published by Parlour News

South Korea on Monday announced plans to secure 10,000 high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) within this year in a bid to keep pace as the global AI race escalates. “As competition for dominance in the AI industry intensifies, the competitive landscape is shifting from battles between companies to a full-scale rivalry between national innovation ecosystems,” South Korea’s acting President Choi Sang-mok said in a statement. Choi said that the government aims to secure the 10,000 GPUs through public-private cooperation to help the country launch services at its national AI computing centre early. Story continues below this ad Last month, the U.S. government announced a new regulation aimed at regulating the flow of American AI chips and technology needed for the most advanced AI applications. The rule restricts the export of GPUs, specialized processors originally created to accelerate graphics rendering. The number of GPUs needed for an AI model depends on how advanced the GPU is, how much data is being used to train the model, the size of the model itself and the time the …

India’s AI mission portal’s launch soon: 10 firms to provide 14,000 GPUs | Latest News India

Published by Parlour News

The IndiaAI Mission will provide common compute capacity through about 14,000 graphics processing units (GPUs) after ten shortlisted companies met the lowest bids for different GPU types, a senior government official said, asking not to be named. Seventy percent of the promised GPUs are high-end, such as Nvidia’s H100. The remaining thirty percent are low-end GPUs. (Representative Image) Of this, over 10,000 GPUs are already available with Yotta Data Services, E2E Networks, Tata Communications, and AWS’s managed service providers, while the remaining 4,000 GPUs will be purchased by companies including Jio Platforms and CtrlS Datacenters. The ten companies had proposed providing 18,693 GPUs for the mission’s AI Compute pillar. After the IT ministry announced the lowest bids on January 30 for different types of GPUs, bidders had until February 14 to meet them. They ultimately met the L1 bids for about 14,000 GPUs. Of the ₹10,371.92 crore ($1.25 billion) approved for the IndiaAI Mission in March, 44% ( ₹4,563.36 crore) is earmarked for compute capacity through more than 10,000 GPUs over five years.

Nvidia is revealing a big upgrade to its Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology today. DLSS 4 will include new neural rendering capabilities that, on systems with the new RTX 50 Series GPUs, can do Multi Frame Generation, generating “up to three additional frames per traditionally rendered frame, working in unison with the complete suite of DLSS technologies to multiply frame rates by up to 8X over traditional brute-force rendering.” According to Nvidia, that’s a big enough upgrade to make 4K 240fps, fully ray-traced gaming possible. Also, in an upgrade that will work on all GeForce RTX GPUs, DLSS games with Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution, and DLAA can be updated to new transformer AI models that use the same tech as AI tools like ChatGPT, which it says is a first for the graphics industry.

US Chip Export Rule Proposes Limits to Thwart Chinese GPUs

US Chip Export Rule Proposes Limits to Thwart Chinese GPUs

Published by Webster

The federal government on Jan. 13 proposed a global policy to limit the distribution of powerful, U.S.-made GPUs, an effort to promote U.S. dominance over China in the AI chip industry. “To enhance U.S. national security and economic strength, it is essential that we do not offshore this critical technology and that the world’s AI runs on American rails,” the White House’s announcement reads. The White House moved forward with the proposal despite pushback from several tech giants, including NVIDIA and Oracle. If the rule is implemented, it will be enforceable after 120 days, after a comment period. The incoming administration will determine whether the rule will go into effect. What’s hot at TechRepublic Proposed rule sorts countries into allied, restricted, or limited categories The Interim Final Rule on Artificial Intelligence Diffusion proposes restrictions on U.S. chip distribution to secure U.S. market share against competing technologies in China. Issued under the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security, the rule mitigates national security risks exacerbated by generative AI, including cyberattacks. The rule has six main …
