Amazon halts orders of Nvidia ‘superchip’ to await updated model
亚马逊叫停英伟达芯片订单以等待新产品
Amazon’s cloud computing arm has halted orders of Nvidia’s most advanced “superchip” to wait for a more powerful new model, as investors fret about a dip in demand between the $2.3tn chipmaker’s product cycles.
亚马逊(Amazon)的云计算部门叫停了英伟达(Nvidia)最先进的“超级芯片”的订单，以等待更强大的新型号芯片。目前投资者担心这家市值2.3万亿美元的芯片制造商在新旧产品更替期间遭遇需求下降。
The Silicon Valley-based chipmaker unveiled a new generation of processors dubbed Blackwell in March, barely a year after its predecessor Hopper began to be shipped to customers. Nvidia’s chief executive Jensen Huang said the new products would be twice as powerful for training large language models, the technology behind OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
总部位于硅谷的英伟达在今年3月公布新一代处理器架构Blackwell，距离上一代产品Hopper开始向客户发货仅一年。这家芯片制造商的首席执行官黄仁勋(Jensen Huang)表示，新产品训练大型语言模型(LLM)——OpenAI的ChatGPT背后的技术——的能力将提高一倍。
