Did you skip the sentence immediately after that one?

It’s two fused chips. So 1.25x per chip. 25% uplift. Not 2.5x uplift. The 2.5x is for the whole package.

Is that how it works? Why don't we just put many chips in one computer?

the massive blackwell SoC he showed is two Blackwell dies with an interconnect. It’s very similar to what Apple does with their Ultra series.

Then the B200 package is 2 of these plus a CPU. So a total of 4 GPU dies in each unit.

That's GB200.

Jensen's comment about being first was such a dig to Emerald Rapids.

Is it the first? The Apple Ultra series chips are two Max’s fused with an interconnect. In which case it’s both CPU and GPU.

I believe this is just the first for a GPU only product.
