Nvidia's recent analyst day has generated significant buzz among investors, primarily due to the unveiling of its new Blackwell chip and ambitious plans to enter the consumer CPU market. CEO Jensen Huang's announcement of a 20-core Arm-based CPU within the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip has sparked excitement, as it aligns with Nvidia's strategic focus on AI and high-performance computing. This move is seen as a direct challenge to established players like Intel and AMD, as the industry increasingly shifts towards Arm-based architectures. The collaboration with MediaTek and the potential for independent marketing of the CPU have further fueled speculation about Nvidia's future market positioning.
