Is NVIDIA more of a hardware or software company? Probably the latter, according to Manuvir Das, Head of Enterprise Computing at NVIDIA, who spoke at MIT Technology Review's Future Compute event yesterday and mentioned that "at NVIDIA, we spend 20% of our time on the hardware and 80% of our time on the software." Das' statement came on the same day that NVIDIA began shipping the DGX H100, a new system for powering AI applications that features eight NVIDIA H100 GPUs with 640 GB of GPU memory. As noted by John Carmack, NVIDIA's H100 GPUs are selling for as high as $45,000 on eBay.
