If You Don’t Dare to Buy Coins, Buy Nvidia’s Stock

For Nvidia, AI is still an area that needs to be explored, but as a growing technology company, Nvidia will definitely not give up. On the contrary, they have been increasing their investment in AI.

According to foreign media The Verge, they recently launched an AI chip that can be used as the brain of a robot. This chip is called Jetson Xavier, which is designed specifically for robots and has the same working capacity as a $10,000 workstation.

Jeff Herbst, vice president of business development at Nvidia, said: "Many game developers will develop games based on Nvidia's products. We have created a gaming ecosystem. Now, we hope to do the same for AI companies, high-performance computing companies, self-driving cars and other companies."

With the advent of Isaac and Jetson Xavier, Nvidia seems to have begun to sound the clarion call of the AI revolution.

As Nvidia's latest masterpiece, Isaac and Jetson Xavier were unveiled at Computex 2018 (Taipei International Computer Show).

Isaac is a developer platform, and Jetson Xavier is an AI computer.

Nvidia claims that Jetson Xavier is the world's first AI computer built specifically for robots. This computer contains 6 processors and can perform 30 trillion operations per second. It took 5 years to complete (3 years for design and 2 years for architecture), with more than 8,000 people involved in research and development.

This also puts Nvidia first in the next phase of AI innovation: moving from software running in the cloud to automated robots in the real world.

Since the company was founded in 1993, many of Huang Renxun's predictions and ideas for the future have become reality through Nvidia. AI is an important part of it, and he hopes to develop his own AI chip.

Chip research and development is very expensive, especially AI chips. However, for Nvidia, they are never short of money.

Nvidia's stock price is rising

Nvidia often appears at various exhibitions to increase its influence in the industry. Relying on GPU technology, Nvidia has made a lot of profits in games and other GPU applications and attracted venture capital institutions from all over the world.

Its stock has also become a darling of Wall Street, ranking alongside Microsoft and Amazon as one of the three most profitable AI technology stocks on Wall Street.

Compared with other aspirants, Nvidia has sufficient capital to train its own R&D team to develop AI chips.

Nvidia's AI plot has been brewing since 2005, when they thought that AI would become mainstream in the future. To this end, they began to develop AI chips, allowing GPUs to meet the millions of tiny calculations required for AI operations and be applied in physical products.

Isaac is mainly aimed at robot research and development. It can build and test robots, reducing the difficulty for R&D personnel to develop and train robots. Its basic structure is:

A series of APIs to connect to 3D cameras and sensors; an AI accelerator library to keep algorithms running smoothly and without lags; and an environmental simulator, Isaac Sim, to train and test robots in virtual space.

Jetson Xavier is the brain of the automated robot, which has powerful data processing capabilities while reducing energy consumption. Moreover, its SDK is very cheap, only $1,299, and is expected to be available in August this year.

Xavier is more than 20 times more powerful than the AI processors that Nvidia is using to power autonomous warehouse robots, automatic fruit pickers, and agricultural robots.

Support Nvidia bosses to get rich first

If Nvidia continues to develop at this pace, and since it has no shortage of people, money, or customers, it may only be a matter of time before it achieves its goal of dominating the field of AI.
