NVIDIA Blackwell Outperforms Hopper with 15x Performance Gain and New Open Source Initiative InferenceMAX v1

NVIDIA Blackwell leads in SemiAnalysis InferenceMAX v1 benchmarks, delivering a 15x performance gain over the Hopper generation and unlocking a 15x revenue opportunity. The industry-leading performance is driven by extreme hardware-software co-design, including native support for NVFP4 low precision format, fifth-generation NVIDIA NVLink and NVLink Switch, and NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM and NVIDIA Dynamo inference frameworks. InferenceMAX v1 provides a comprehensive methodology to evaluate inference hardware performance, and its results demonstrate NVIDIA GPUs deliver the highest inference performance across all workloads.
