Nvidia – The Blackwell Ramp

Nvidia (NVDA) $121 (AI) (Semiconductors)

And here we are ramping Blackwell, and it’s in full production,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, during the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference. “We’ll ship in Q4 and scale it — start scaling in Q4 and into next year. And the demand on it is so great … and so the intensity is really, really quite extraordinary.”

“Blackwell chips are expected to see 450,000 units produced in the fourth quarter of 2024, translating into a potential revenue opportunity exceeding $10B for Nvidia,” according to a post today on X.

The estimate during the August conference call was for $3Bn Blackwell revenue in Q4, so this is a big change. Fundamentally there wasn’t any real difference, just the quarterly cadence from Q4 to Q1, but this does help the stock in the short term and more importantly should put to rest any rumors or doubts about Blackwell design flaws.
