Most recently updated firstNvidia Data Center GPUs: Hopper, Blackwell and Vera Rubin
Nvidia announced the Hopper H100 in March 2022 and said it began shipping the GPU in November that year; Hopper was later extended with the H200. Nvidia introduced Blackwell in March 2024, but reports of a delay were followed by Nvidia’s disclosure that it had changed the GPU mask to improve yields before its fourth-quarter production ramp.
AMD Instinct: From MI300X to Helios and the Gigawatt Deals
AMD introduced the Instinct MI300X in June 2023 and launched it in December, then moved its accelerator roadmap to annual generations spanning MI325X, MI350, MI400 and later MI500 and MI600 series. MI300X reached Azure and Oracle offerings and was reported in production use by Microsoft and broad Llama inference deployment at Meta; AMD said Instinct revenue exceeded $5 billion in 2024.
How Nvidia Came to Own AI Compute: From CUDA to the H100 Shortage
Nvidia’s AI-computing position began with CUDA in 2006, which made GPUs programmable for general-purpose parallel computing. AlexNet’s 2012 ImageNet result showed that a deep neural network could be trained effectively with GPUs, and Nvidia later built Tensor Cores and data-center products such as the V100 and A100 around AI workloads.
