It&#8217;s certainly amazing how GTC has grown since the early shows in 2009\/2010.<\/p>\n<p>Since I started using NVIDIA GPU&#8217;s there has been an increase in compute over 28 years from the 4 Watt, .0005 Teraflop RIVA128 (1997) &#8230;.. to a 720,000 Teraflop 72 core GB200 Blackwell cabinet (2025) consuming 120,000 Watt (at FP16).<\/p>\n<p>One of the most impressive announcements at this years show was actually Spectrum X.  This is the new silicon photonics interconnect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/en-us\/networking\/products\/silicon-photonics\/\">[ More ]<\/a>.  Using fibre optics to connect GPU&#8217;s reduces power usage compared to copper cables once you have any distance to cover.  It&#8217;s some impressive technology to reduce the power usage, cost and size of the photonics interface with all new silicon process and packaging developed alongside TSMC.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2589\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc.jpg\" alt=\"gtc\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2590\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc2.jpg\" alt=\"gtc2\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc2.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc2-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc2-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc2-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gtc2-1024x570.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was great to be back in San Jose this year.
