Nvidia Corp.

(NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang said Wednesday that the company's older AI chips can remain economically useful for nearly a decade, pushing back against concerns that rapid advances in AI could quickly make GPUs obsolete.

Jensen Huang Says A100 GPUs Can Last Nearly a Decade Huang said on X that Nvidia’s A100 fleet is "mission-capable from 2020 through 2029," highlighting the longevity of the company’s data center GPUs.

The A100 debuted in 2020 as part of Nvidia’s Ampere generation.

"NVIDIA computing is more than chips," Huang said, pointing to the company’s CUDA software platform as a key reason its hardware can remain useful across generations.
