Speaking at the company's annual GTC event in San Jose, California, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jensen Huang said that Dell Technologies, HP, and other manufacturers will make the new systems. He also introduced a successor to Nvidia's Blackwell processor called the Blackwell Ultra. That chip line, due in the second half of 2025, will be followed by a more dramatic upgrade called "Vera Rubin" in the latter half of 2026.

The GTC conference, once a little-known gathering of developers, has become a closely watched event since Nvidia took a central role in AI—with the tech world and Wall Street taking its cues from the presentation.
