Preview: Colleague Chris Riegel describes what NVIDIA boss Jensen Huang unveiled in his annual presentation -- an upside breaking of Moore's Law re how fast computing can speed up every 18 months. More later.

| 0:00.0 | This is John Batchel, a conversation with my colleague and guide, Chris Wrigal of Scala.com, about what I watched in California, a presentation by the CEO and the guru of Envidia, Jensen Wong. |
| 0:17.1 | Chris was there. I watched it on video to our presentation, lots of graphics, lots of little movies inside. |
| 0:25.6 | However, it comes down to language I don't follow, so I asked Chris, what am I seeing? What are they telling us? |
| 0:32.2 | Turns out what they're telling us is they just made a leap into the future and it's here. |
| 0:39.8 | Moore's Law, Chris explains. It's been broken to the upside. Chris explains what that means and what it will mean. We have AI now. We have |
| 0:47.8 | Blackwell, the chip that Nvidia has at the high end, but there are higher end chips than that. There's one called |
| 0:56.9 | Vira Rubin. There's one called Feynman. There's more to come faster and faster. The payoff? |
| 1:03.2 | Human-like thinking. There's a language for it, but it's a reasoning power that doesn't now exist |
| 1:10.7 | in AI. Or if it exists, |
| 1:14.1 | we're not seeing it commercially yet, much faster, much smaller, much more able to reason. |
| 1:23.1 | More of this now and in future. Here's Chris. Basically what he was telling you and being very modest |
| 1:31.8 | about it is that Nvidia is breaking Moore's law and they're breaking Moore's law to the upside. |
| 1:37.3 | Instead of technology reducing by 50% and doubling in speed every 18 months. |
| 1:50.6 | They're increasing by a factor of 10 and reducing by a factor of 10 in every two years. |
| 1:55.6 | It's really breakthrough things that are happening to accelerate this compute power and then all of the people in industry looking at what you can do with all this amazing power. |
