over 1,100 Rubin GPUs, 60 exaflobs, 10 petabytes per second of scale bandwidth.
That's all just one.
That's just one pod.
That's just one pod.
Yeah, that's just one pod.
I mean, so you have the, and then even the NVL72 rack alone is 1.3 million components, 1,300 chips, 4,000 pounds crammed into a single 19-inch wide rack.
The amount of different components, I suppose simplicity is impossible, but is that a metric that you kind of reach for in trying to design things?
But some of the most incredible semiconductor industry broadly, but what NVIDIA is doing, some of the greatest engineering in history.
So these systems are just truly, truly marvels of engineering.
Yeah, the engineering teams.
I mean, I don't know.
It's not a competition, but I don't know.
If it was like an Olympics of engineering teams, I mean, TSMC does incredible engineering.
Like I said, ASML at every scale.
But NVIDIA is going to give them a run for their money.
This is wonderful.
You've recently traveled to China.
Yeah.
So it's interesting to ask you, China has been incredibly successful in building up its technology sector.
What do you understand about how China is able to, over the past 10 years, build so many incredible world-class companies?
