Nvidia Unveils New Chip Architecture, Analyst Forecasts $10 Trillion Valuation By 2030
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), the dominant AI chip market player, announced its latest AI chip architecture, Rubin, on June 2, 2024. This announcement comes just months after the company unveiled its Blackwell model in March 2024, which is expected to ship later this year.
The rapid turnaround from Blackwell to Rubin underscores the intense competition in the AI chip industry and Nvidia’s dedication to continuing to be at the forefront of the industry. Meanwhile, analyst Beth Kindig recently made an optimistic forecast for the company’s shares, expecting the firm to hit a projected $10 trillion valuation over the next six years.
Nvidia’s Rubin Architecture and Competitive Edge
CEO Jensen Huang has pledged to release new AI chip technology on a yearly basis, accelerating the company’s previous two-year timeline.
The Rubin platform will feature new GPUs and a central processor called “Vera,” showcasing Nvidia’s focus on innovation in AI and accelerated computing. With competitors like AMD, Intel, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon vying for market share, Nvidia aims to maintain its dominant position through its hardware and software integration.
The company’s CUDA platform, often compared to Apple’s iOS for its dominance and influence, gives Nvidia an impenetrable advantage over its rivals.
Projected $10 Trillion Valuation by 2030
As of June 2, 2024, Nvidia’s market capitalization stands at approximately $2.7 trillion. However, Beth Kindig, lead tech analyst at the I/O Fund, predicts that the company’s market cap will surge another 270% to reach $10 trillion by 2030.
This projection is driven by the high demand for Nvidia’s chips in data centers and the expected growth in the automotive sector. CEO Jensen Huang has described the current industry phase as the start of the next industrial revolution, highlighting the crucial role of Nvidia’s chips in training large language models and AI applications.
Nvidia’s Stock Has Soared Over 200% in the Past Year
