As Nvidia’s recent surge in market capitalization clearly demonstrates, the AI industry is in desperate need of new hardware to train large language models (LLMs) and other AI-based algorithms. While server and HPC GPUs may be worthless for gaming, they serve as the foundation for data centers and supercomputers that perform highly parallelized computations necessary for these systems.
When it comes to AI training, Nvidia’s GPUs have been the most desirable to date. In recent weeks, the company briefly achieved an unprecedented $1 trillion market capitalization due to this very reason.
