NVIDIA Sweeps COMPUTEX 2025: AI Chip Giant Claims 80% of Best Choice Awards
Taipei’s tech elite watched through splayed fingers as NVIDIA vacuumed up hardware accolades yet again—their AI accelerators now powering everything from gaming rigs to hedge fund algorithms (because what’s a bull market without some good old-fashioned compute-backed speculation?).
The awards tally reads like a monopoly board: 8 out of 10 gold medals went to Team Jensen, including wins for their terrifyingly efficient Blackwell GPUs and that creepy avatar SDK that definitely doesn’t harvest your biometric data.
Meanwhile, AMD’s booth reportedly played ’Another One Bites the Dust’ on loop while Intel execs quietly updated their LinkedIn profiles. The future’s bright—as long as you’re holding NVDA stock.
NVIDIA has garnered significant accolades at the prestigious COMPUTEX 2025 Best Choice Awards, showcasing its leadership in technological innovation. The company’s cutting-edge products, including the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU and the Quantum-X Photonics InfiniBand switch system, have been recognized for their excellence in functionality and market potential, according to NVIDIA’s official blog.
GeForce RTX 5090 and Quantum-X Photonics Shine
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU triumphed in the Gaming and Entertainment category. Built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, it features ultra-fast GDDR7 memory and fifth-generation Tensor Cores, designed to deliver high-performance gaming and AI workloads. The GPU supports next-generation ray-tracing and NVIDIA DLSS 4 technologies, offering a superior gaming experience.
In the Networking and Communication category, the NVIDIA Quantum-X Photonics InfiniBand switch system was awarded for its advancement in data center networking. By integrating silicon photonics directly with the InfiniBand switch ASIC, it eliminates the need for pluggable optical transceivers, enhancing signal integrity and efficiency.
Golden Awards for GB200 NVL72 and Cosmos
NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL72 system and the Cosmos world foundation model development platform were both honored with Golden Awards. The GB200 NVL72, a rack-scale system, connects 36 NVIDIA Grace CPUs and 72 Blackwell GPUs, delivering 1.4 exaflops of AI performance. It is designed for AI training and high-performance computing workloads.
The NVIDIA Cosmos platform accelerates physical AI development, enabling the creation and deployment of world foundation models. It processes vast amounts of data rapidly, significantly reducing development time and costs associated with real-world data collection.
Spotlight on DGX Spark
The NVIDIA DGX Spark, which won in the Computer and System category, is a personal AI supercomputer powered by the Grace Blackwell architecture. It supports researchers and developers in prototyping and running advanced AI models locally, offering up to 1,000 trillion operations per second. Its compact and efficient design integrates seamlessly into the NVIDIA AI ecosystem, facilitating generative and physical AI workloads.
NVIDIA’s continued innovation and excellence in technology were further highlighted by a keynote from founder and CEO Jensen Huang at COMPUTEX, scheduled for May 19, 2025, at 11 a.m. Taiwan time.
