Nvidia's Blackwell architecture is making significant strides in both the AI and gaming sectors. The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, priced at $429, brings the Blackwell architecture to mainstream gamers, targeting 1440p gaming with power efficiency and overclocking headroom. Reviews indicate that the RTX 5060 Ti is built around the GB206 GPU and is the full implementation of the chip, with roughly 21.9 billion transistors manufactured on TSMC's 4N node. It is arranged into 3 GPCs. It is the first of the Blackwell cards to target under $500 and should see peak performance realized in advanced AI rendering techniques like DLSS4 with multi-frame generation.
CoreWeave, a GPU cloud platform, is among the first to bring Nvidia's Grace Blackwell GB200 NVL72 systems online at scale. Companies like Cohere, IBM, and Mistral AI are leveraging these systems for model training and deployment. Cohere is using Grace Blackwell Superchips to develop secure enterprise AI applications, with reported performance increases of up to 3x in training for 100 billion-parameter models. IBM is scaling its deployment to thousands of Blackwell GPUs on CoreWeave to train its Granite open-source AI models for IBM watsonx Orchestrate. Mistral AI is also utilizing the Blackwell GPUs to build the next generation of open-source AI models, reporting a 2x improvement in performance for dense model training.
However, Nvidia faces challenges due to U.S. government restrictions on exports to China. The company is writing off $5.5 billion in GPUs as the U.S. government chokes off supply of H20s to China, highlighting geopolitical impacts on the tech industry. The U.S. government's concern stems from the potential use of these processors in Chinese supercomputers. In response, Nvidia is reportedly working to onshore the manufacturing of chips and other components, as well as the assembly of systems, to the United States.
