Nvidia $NVDA announced the next generation of its artificial intelligence processors on Sunday in a surprise move less than three months after its most recent launch.

At the Computex conference in Taipei, the chipmaker’s chief executive Jensen Huang unveiled “Rubin”, the successor to its “Blackwell” chips for data centres, which are currently in production after being announced in March. The unexpected move to reveal its next wave of products before Blackwell has even started shipping to customers shows how the world’s most valuable chipmaker is racing to entrench its dominance of AI processors, which has propelled it into the ranks of the world’s most valuable companies. “A new computing age is starting,” Huang said, as Nvidia also unveiled new AI chip deals with PC makers.
