During a presentation in front of machine learning and data scientists in Taiwan, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced on stage a new data center class system that promises to offer customers an unparalleled level of performance for artificial intelligence and HPC (high performance compute) applications.

NVIDIA’s leadership position in the world of machine learning and AI processing is a well understood topic at this point, though with continued pressure from companies like Intel and Google, the graphics giant must continue to prove to developers and investors that it is not losing a step to advancements other chip designers are making. With interest in the company’s capabilities in machine learning driving the stock up to all-time highs, every announcement and partnership is scrutinized.
