Nvidia GTC is happening this week and there’s lots of new hardware coming out. From the H100 card optimized for large language models to screaming fast GPUs for laptops and workstations Nvidia has something for everyone. We’ve already referenced the announcements around Bluefield 3 but Nvidia has also announced a new supercompute cluster with DGX cloud that you can totally rent for $37,000 a month…
