Jensen Huang gave the keynote at GTC Japan today, and the steady stream of new products continued. Seems like there’s a new product every few weeks. Incredible. The replay of the presentation should be available soon…

NVIDIA’s graphics technology is useful for a lot more than just lining up pixels on gamer’s monitors, and in a presentation at the GPU Technology Conference, CEO Jensen Huang revealed a few more layers of its plans. The Jetson Xavier platform unveiled earlier this year for autonomous robots and cars is rolling out, and now developers can order a Drive AGX Xavier devkit to test software for self-driving cars. Speaking of AGX, NVIDIA announced that several Japanese companies (FANUC, Komatsu, Musashi Seimitsu and Kawada Technologies) will integrate it into their autonomous robots.

The company is also putting its latest Turing tech – recently seen in ray-tracing ready 20-series GPUs for gaming desktops – [Turing is going] into its TensorRT Hyperscale Inference Platform based on new T4 GPUs. While the Quadro RTX workstation GPUs for developers feature up to 576 of its Tensor cores, the T4 packs 320 Turing Tensor Cores, 2,560 CUDA and 16GB of RAM cores into a small PCIe form factor ready to be packed into servers powering all of the cloud-type AI services that are so popular lately. NVIDIA’s TensorRT software is the other part of the package driving “Intelligent Voice, Video, Image and Recommendation Services.”
