What Hardware-Software Innovations Power Blackwell’s Leadership?
Blackwell’s leadership comes from extreme hardware-software codesign. It’s a full-stack architecture built for speed, efficiency and scale: The Blackwell architecture features include:
NVFP4 low-precision format for efficiency without loss of accuracy
Fifth-generation NVIDIA NVLink that connects 72 Blackwell GPUs to act as one giant GPU
NVLink Switch, which enables high concurrency through advanced tensor, expert and data parallel attention algorithms
Annual hardware cadence plus continuous software optimization — NVIDIA has more than doubled Blackwell performance since launch using software
