Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang plans to make Blackwell chips the backbone of data centers worldwide. Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Huang shared his ambitious goal. He believes Blackwell chips will outperform Nvidia’s Hopper chips in revenue by early 2025.
“We’re racing to get Blackwells into every data center in the world,” Huang stated during a Yahoo Finance interview.
Blackwell Chips to Drive Data Center Growth
Nvidia’s data center business accounted for nearly 90% of its revenue last quarter. The rollout of Blackwell chips is expected to sustain this strong growth. Nvidia reported $35.1 billion in revenue in Q4 2024, driven by advancements in AI and data centers. Analysts predict Blackwell will generate billions in sales during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Expanding into Robotics and Autonomous Driving
Huang also discussed opportunities in robotics and self-driving cars. Nvidia’s autonomous driving technology already brings in $5 billion annually. He believes the industry will grow significantly in the coming years.
“This is likely going to be one of the largest robotics and computing industries in the world,” Huang noted.
Key Partnerships and Innovations
At CES, Nvidia announced partnerships with Toyota and Aurora Innovation. These collaborations will focus on self-driving vehicle systems powered by Nvidia’s DRIVE Thor chip. The chip is built on Blackwell architecture. Aurora’s stock rose over 30% after the announcement, while Nvidia’s stock experienced a slight dip.
Nvidia also introduced the GB10, a compact AI superchip. Designed for developers, researchers, and students, the GB10-powered supercomputer will be available in May for $3,000.
What’s Next for Nvidia
Huang emphasized Nvidia’s goal to make AI accessible across platforms. The company is expanding from cloud computing to personal devices. Nvidia’s Blackwell chips are poised to redefine the tech landscape in 2025 and beyond.
