NVDA’s powerful performance is driven by advanced AI chips that quickly handle complex neural networks. Demand for more powerful processors in AI infrastructure has continued to grow and supports the NVDA status in the market. The recent sales reaction to the expensive DeepSeek model, which is expensive, has been exaggerated, as it can actually increase the use of AI and maintain the demand for NVDA chips. Furthermore, the Blackweltip is expected to further increase the performance gap in the AI market and promote continuous demand for NVDA high -end chips.
