NVIDIA continues to increase its investments in artificial intelligence. The company, which wants to dominate this field, recently introduced the Blackwell B200 artificial intelligence chip. The Blackwell B200, referred to as “the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence chip”, received a price announcement from NVIDIA’s CEO.
Remarkable price explanation for NVIDIA Blackwell B200
For those who missed it, let’s talk about NVIDIA Blackwell B200. The Blackwell B200, which is said to offer 30 times higher performance compared to the H100 chip, has 208 billion transistors. Thus, it offers up to 20 petaflops of FP4 computing power.
The company says that a job done with 8 thousand Hopper GPUs can be done with only 2 thousand Blackwell GPUs. In addition, it claims that it can provide 75 percent efficiency by consuming only 4 megawatts of energy. Accordingly, it can be used to train an artificial intelligence model with 1.8 trillion parameters. Since the new chip is quite powerful, its price was highly curious.
NVIDIA CEO Hensen Huang said on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” program that the NVIDIA Blackwell B200 chip will have a price between 30 thousand and 40 thousand dollars.

Depending on the demand of the companies, we may see a higher price for the NVIDIA Blackwell B200 chip. For example, Facebook’s parent company Meta is planning to make a serious purchase as part of its artificial intelligence efforts. In addition, NVIDIA is expected to offer this chip to companies such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Oracle.
