NVIDIA Reveals Details Of Powerful DGX GH200 Supercomputer
The DGX GH200 architecture will enable hundreds of chips to act as a single GPU, and has been built with generative AI in mind.
NVIDIA has revealed details about the company’s next supercomputer, the DGX GH200, which has been built to help companies develop generative AI models.
The machine uses a new NVLink Switch System to enable 256 chips to perform as if they were a single GPU. NVIDIA claims the system offers nearly 500 times as much memory as you’d find in previous DGX A100 computers, quite probably making it the most powerful supercomputer on the planet.
Several key players are interested in the DGX GH200. Google Cloud, Meta, and Microsoft will be some of the first to put the system through its paces as they test its capacity for generative AI workloads.

NVIDIA says the new machine will be available by the end of 2023, by which time they should have already developed Helios, an even more powerful version combining four DGX GH200 systems.
Meanwhile, on the gaming front, NVIDIA’s Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) has been revealed, allowing developers to create custom AI models for speech, conversation, and animation. NVIDIA claims that ACE for Games will “give non-playable characters conversational skills so they can respond to questions with lifelike personalities that evolve”.

Samsung Smart Glasses Teased For January, Software Reveal Imminent
According to Korean sources, the new wearable will launch alongside the Galaxy S25, with the accompanying software platform unveiled this December.
Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.
As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.
A Collaborative Software Effort
Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.
Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.
Feature Set And Compatibility
The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
