[00:00] AI is a five-layer cake.
[00:02] And at the lowest layer is energy.
[00:04] When you have abundant of energy, it makes up for chips.
[00:06] If you have abundance of chips, it makes up for energy.
[00:11] For example, uh United States is scarce on energy, which is the reason why Nvidia has to keep advancing our architecture and do this extreme co-design, so that with the few chips that we ship, okay, with the few chips, because the amount of energy is so limited, our throughput per watt is off the charts.
[00:33] But if your amount of watts is completely abundant, it's free, what do you care about performance per watt for?
[00:41] You get plenty you can use old chips to do so.
[00:43] So, 7 nm chips are essentially Hopper.
[00:49] The ability to for Hopper, um I got to tell you today's models are largely trained on Hopper.
[00:58] Yeah, Hopper generation.
[00:58] And so, so.
[01:00] Hopper is 7 nm chips are plenty good.
[01:03] The abundance of energy is their advantage.
