Nvidia now claims its graphics chips are the best engines to power the new types of laptops and desktops.
The new GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER will get more processing cores and faster memory. The new chip will also power games with ray tracing building an image by calculating the path of individual rays of light – at 4K resolution.
Paired with new software and optimizations of AI models that Nvidia is also releasing, the products will offer an “order of magnitude” improvement over machines that are powered by Intel chips, according to Justin Walker, an Nvidia vice president.
Nvidia’s stock rose as much as 5% in New York trading Monday, taking it back above $500 a share to a record high. The stock more than tripled last year, giving the company a market value of more than $1 trillion.
