On the near horizon — H2 2025 — Nvidia will release Blackwell Ultra, a GPU that’ll come in several configurations. A single Ultra chip will offer the same 20 petaflops of AI performance as Blackwell, but with 288GB of memory — up from 192GB in vanilla Blackwell.

This year’s Blackwell Ultra isn’t what we originally expected, when Nvidia said last year that it would begin producing new AI chips on a yearly cadence, faster than ever before. But Nvidia quickly moved on from Blackwell Ultra during today’s GDC keynote to reveal its next architecture,

The Ultra version of Blackwell is the fastest expansion version. Nvidia is also developing its first large server CPU with its own computing cores.
