Story-specific findings extracted from this briefing's coverage. Fast Facts in the sidebar holds the canonical reference data (CEO, founded, ticker).

Control Panel lifetime Being killed off after 20 years
Where driver updates ship Only via the NVIDIA App (new driver updates)
Driver version mentioned 610.47 (also noted with NVIDIA inspector / Control Panel note)
Export-control enforcement Taiwan arrests three for smuggling Nvidia chips to China

What to Watch

  • Check upcoming NVIDIA driver releases to confirm they ship via the NVIDIA App instead of the legacy Control Panel. Tom's Hardware
  • Follow Taiwan law-enforcement updates tied to the Nvidia chip smuggling allegations and Supermicro compliance crackdown. Tom's Hardware
  • Watch for NVIDIA driver updates that continue adding DLAA/path tracing support in supported apps/engines (e.g., Godot). Tom's Hardware

What Changed

  • CUDA 13.3: NVIDIA continues to move GPU programming from the thread to the tile Igor's LAB

How does NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 deliver exascale compute? 

NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 is an exascale computer in a single rack. With 72 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs interconnected by the largest production scale-up compute fabric, NVIDIA NVLink provides 130 terabytes per second (TB/s) of low-latency GPU communication bandwidth for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Multiple GB200 NVL72 systems combined in a cluster create hierarchical network topology with large domains of very high networking bandwidth.  An AI training job can greatly benefit from the abundant networking bandwidth offered by GB200 NVL72, when scheduled to maximize the use of NVLink

How does GB200 NVL72 enable larger segment sizes?

In multi-GPU workloads, the job segment size defines the subunit made of nodes that can communicate with each other entirely over NVLink. Figure 1 illustrates how segment number (Y) and segment size (S) are used to define the GPUs assigned to a specific job. GPUs per node (G) is always four for GB200 and GB300.  In prior systems, such as NVIDIA HGX H100, jobs were limited to a segment size of one node. The GB200 NVL72 system supports much larger segment sizes (up to 18 nodes) while also efficiently supporting segments as a single node. The optimal segment size for a given application is determ

What is the best job scheduling approach for GB200 NVL72?

Based on our simulation results and performance testing, we recommend a scheduling approach for NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 clusters that prioritizes large job performance while maintaining high utilization. Large jobs of 64 GPUs or more should be given access to the maximum number of NVLink domains, using segment sizing to ensure proportional GPU allocation across domains. Segment-based scheduling is essential for aligning resources with workload patterns. For jobs of 32 nodes or more, a segment size of 16 is recommended if the application can benefit from it, while smaller jobs are better suited to s

Can a start-up really launch a new GPU?

There’s a logic to Bolt’s approach. Nvidia and AMD are focused on AI, but GPUs are still useful for many tasks besides AI. However, Bolt will need to overcome two key technical hurdles. The first is production. Cutting-edge silicon production is in short supply and leaders like Nvidia have most leading-edge production capacity tied up. The Zeus GPU will instead be fabricated on TSMC’s older N5 process node. Bolt is betting that an older process node will keep Zeus competitive with Nvidia on price. Bolt may also find it challenging to convince users that an unproven GPU is a safe bet. Driver su
