Nvidia Unveils Next-Gen Chips to Power AI Factories
San Jose, March 18, 2025 – Nvidia has announced a new generation of AI-focused chips designed to meet the rapidly growing demand for artificial intelligence computing power. The “Vera Rubin” system, set to launch in fall 2026, was revealed by CEO Jensen Huang at the GTC developer conference.
Named after the astronomer Vera Rubin, who made groundbreaking discoveries about dark matter, the new chips—along with the Blackwell platform launching this year—aim to significantly lower the cost of running AI software compared to existing technology.
AI Factories and the Future of Computing
Huang described modern data centers as “AI factories,” emphasizing that every industry will soon require two types of factories: one for physical products and another for software development powered by AI.
Nvidia also unveiled Isaac Groot N1, a new platform for developing humanoid robots, in collaboration with Disney and Google DeepMind. Additionally, General Motors (GM) has signed on as a partner for Nvidia’s autonomous driving technology.
Surging AI Demand Requires More Power
Huang dismissed concerns that AI might eventually require less computing power, instead arguing that demand is skyrocketing. He demonstrated how China’s Deepseek R1 model needed 150 times more processing power than traditional AI systems to complete a complex task.
Overall, Huang predicts that 100 times more computing power will be required than previously estimated. However, investors remain cautious—Nvidia’s stock fell 3.43% following the announcement.
With AI adoption accelerating, Nvidia is positioning itself at the center of the AI revolution, supplying the critical hardware that will shape the future of artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation.
