Highlights

  • Nvidia posted a slight 1% decline in the last 24 hours.
  • This comes as Amazon halted its previous Superchip orders.
  • Market analysts anticipate the release of the company’s Q1 2024 earnings.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) chip giant, Nvidia has slipped today in the market following reports of Amazon halting orders on a previous model of the company’s “super chip.” In a new Financial Times report, Amazon Web Services explained that it has transitioned its earlier orders to the recent version of chips. 

According to the report, the company’s Grace Hopper Superchip released last year will be replaced with new orders on the recent Grace Blackwell. In March, the US-based chipmaker unveiled a new iteration of chips, Grace Blackwell barely a year after delivery for Hopper began to customers.

Amazon noted that the window between both releases is small prompting the company’s decision. Nvidia has previously explained the new model will be twice as powerful to train large languages.
