Previously, it was reported that AWS, a subsidiary of Amazon, has suspended orders for Nvidia Hopper chips in anticipation of more powerful new ones. AWS issued a clarification statement afterwards stating that, AWS has not suspended any orders from NVIDIA.
The AWS spokesperson pointed out that the transition from Grace Hopper chips to Blackwell chips only applies to Project Ceiba, a supercomputer project jointly built by AWS and Nvidia. AWS will continue to provide other services based on the Nvidia Hopper chip, which is its flagship model for training AI.
The AWS spokesperson stated in the statement, "It should be clarified that...", AWS has not stopped any orders from Nvidia. In close collaboration with Nvidia, we have jointly decided to transfer Project Ceiba from Hopper to Blackwell GPU, which has achieved a leap in performance
Previously, Nvidia released a new generation processor called Blackwell in March this year, less than a year after its predecessor Hopper began shipping to customers. Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun stated that the new product will double its ability to train large-scale language models.
Grace Hopper was officially launched in August this year. AWS also confirmed the news to the media, stating that the time interval between the two products is very short and it is reasonable to wait for a new product.
Nvidia refused to comment on Wednesday's quarterly financial report, citing the silent period requirement.
