After growing anticipation almost turned into nail-biting pressure, Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia (NVDA), finally took the stage at GTC 2025, and tech fans held their breath. After all, Nvidia’s annual event is where the future of AI, computing, and now, robotics takes shape. This year, the expectations levels outshone yesteryear’s event. However, Huang did not deliver as expected, but that entirely depends on one’s point of view. Nevertheless, Huang laid out a clear vision for the next few years, packed with new GPUs, AI breakthroughs, and even a glimpse into quantum computing.
Let’s explore what was on show and the potential implications of this new batch of products.
The Next Wave of GPUs
First up, Nvidia is keeping its foot on the gas with a fresh lineup of GPUs. The Blackwell Ultra, coming later this year, will push AI frameworks to new heights with more memory and power. In 2026, we’ll see Vera Rubin, a computing system designed to outdo Blackwell. A year later, an even stronger Vera Rubin Ultra will launch, setting the stage for Feynman, the 2028 GPU that could redefine AI performance. Despite Nvidia’s negative stock reaction, it doesn’t look like Nvidia is slowing down anytime soon.
AI and Data Centers Go Bigger
Huang didn’t stop at GPUs. Nvidia also revealed big plans for AI and data centers. The DGX AI computers, built on Blackwell Ultra chips, will make large AI models easier to run.
Meanwhile, Quantum-X Photonics and Spectrum-X chips are set to transform networking. These tiny chips will link millions of GPUs across vast distances while cutting power use. Then there’s the GB300 superchip, which combines two Blackwell Ultras with Nvidia’s CPUs. In short, Nvidia wants data centers to be AI factories, and it’s building the parts to make that happen.
The Robot and Car Revolution
Nvidia is also diving deeper into robotics and self-driving cars. GR00T N1 (someone’s a fan of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’) is a new base system for humanoid robots, while Newton, an open-source physics engine built with Google DeepMind (GOOGL) and Disney Research (DIS), will help train them. Nvidia also teamed up with General Motors (GM) to develop smarter self-driving cars and rolled out Halos, which is probably a saint (just kidding) AI system focused on making roads safer.
Why This Matters
So, what does all this mean for Nvidia’s future? First, AI spending is still on the rise, and Nvidia is at the center of it. The company predicts that data center investments could hit $1 trillion by 2028, thanks to the growing demand for GPUs.
Second, Nvidia’s push into robotics and quantum computing could open substantial new markets. AI-powered robots are becoming more real, and quantum computing is inching closer to practical use. With Nvidia leading the charge, at least when it comes to AI, the company’s influence could extend far beyond gaming and graphics.
NVDA Stock Is not Impressed
Nvidia’s GTC 2025 announcements weren’t just about new chips. They were about the future of AI, automation, and computing itself. From next-gen GPUs to smarter robots and quantum breakthroughs, Nvidia wants to shape the tech world of tomorrow, however, by its stock reaction, it seems that some investors would like to see more substantial progress than currently presented.
Is Nvidia a Buy, or a Hold?
Turning to Wall Street, Nvidia is considered a Strong Buy based on 42 analysts’ ratings. The average price target for NVDA stock is $176.50, suggesting a 52.91% upside potential.
