● Hopper products
・NVIDIA Hopper's Demand is 'abnormal'.revenue reached tens of billions of dollars, a double-digit increase from the previous quarter. It became the fastest growing product in the company's history. H200 has significantly grown not only in terms of order numbers but also in the speed of its launch.
●Blackwell products
・In the 3Q, there were 13,000 GPUサンプルを顧客に出荷した。その中にはOpen AI向けに最初のBlackwell DGXエンジニアリング・サンプルが含まれている。すべての顧客が、いち早く市場に参入しようと躍起になっている。Blackwellは現在、すべての主要なパートナーの手中にあり、彼らはデータセンターの立ち上げに取り組んでいる。

・Blackwallの需要は非常に強い。我々の実行は順調に進んでいる。世界中で行っているエンジニアリングはたくさんある。現在、DellとCore Weaveのシステムが立ち上がっており、オラクルのシステムも立ち上がったと思う。Microsoftのシステムもあり、Grace Blackwellシステムはプレビューを控えている。
・BlackwellIn excellent condition.And as mentioned earlier,The supply and shipment volumes for this quarter are higher than previous estimates.While the shipment numbers for the previous quarter were zero, looking at the total shipment volume of the Blackwell system for this quarter (in the tens of billions of dollars), the growth can be considered remarkable. (Comments during the Q&A session on supply concerns)
・Blacwell'sproduction is "moving forward at full speed"The supply chain team is doing well. They are doing a great job working with supply partners to increase production. We intend to continue our efforts next year to increase Blackwell's production volume.
・As Blackwell rises,Gross profit marginI am expecting it to settle in the low 70% range. When fully launched, Blackwell's gross profit margin will beMid-70sbe predicted to be as weak as in July.
2025 shipping forecast for Hopper and Blackwell.
Demand for HopperDefinitely until next year2025年The first few quarters will continue.I would expect. During that time, we will likely ship more in the next quarter than in the previous quarter. And,The next quarterwill be higher than the first quarter.shippingwe may end up shipping more Blackwell.

- DatacenterをModernization on a trillion-dollar scale.I believe it's necessary. This is because there are many old datacenters. Let's assume that as IT grows over the next 4 years, datacenters worldwide will be modernized. As you may know, IT continues to grow at around 20% to 30% annually. By 2030, global computing datacenters are expected to reach trillions of dollars in IT. We need to grow to that scale. From coding to machine learning, we need to modernize datacenters. This is the first point.
・The second one is,AI generationWe are currently creating a new type of functionality that the world has never seen before, generating new market segments that the world has never had. When we look at OpenAI, we realize that it doesn't replace anything. It's completely new. Just like when the iPhone was introduced, it's something entirely new.
・Therefore,First of allweplan to advance the modernization of IT and computingintend to.And secondlyIt will become a new industry that produces artificial intelligence.Establishing an artificial intelligence (ai) factory.'the next wave of artificial intelligenceIsEnterprise artificial intelligence.andAI for industry.Indeed.

184295026 : - Nvidia, no delay in Blackwell!
What are you talking about??
Is the article title incorrect?
In the previous earnings reports at the end of August,
- There were structural defects in Blackwell
- They claimed to overcome them technically and establish a full-scale production and shipping system in autumn (around November to December)
How does it look now that the truth has come out (in this earnings report)?
The structural defects of the new flagship model "Blackwell" chip, which had been mentioned since the summer, are still not overcome!!!
That's why full-scale production has been delayed to next year!!!
It's not going to be within this year!!!
In fact, this is how it was written in the economic articles from August at that time
- Blackwell is a new GPU architecture announced by Nvidia in March 2024, initially planned to start mass production and shipping in the fourth quarter of 2024 (October to December)
Therefore, the article title is incorrect.
嬉天堂オンライン 184295026 : I wonder? The title may not be entirely wrong. Plus, it's unwise to blindly trust stock information. My sources have been accurate in terms of timing. What's crucial isn't Blackwell's delays, but whether the actual quality can be utilized, right? It's been proven that it's usable. That's why the sampling has been successful, and things are getting crazy. Whether you decide to believe in Nvidia and buy or sell is up to you. Emotional arguments lead to ruin. These are the words of my stock mentor. Please do your best.
