It was just three months ago that Nvidia turned heads in the tech world with the DGX Spark, a $4,000 desktop supercomputer that was meant to help democratize AI beyond corporate giants. Things move fast in the AI world, though, and the company has another, more powerful model coming to market in the next few months.

Gamers have now upscaled Hellblade II: Senua's Saga from 720p to 4K with impressive clarity. Maybe not quite as good as native, but not far off. They also upscaled a 240p render from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to 720p, transforming it from a pixelated mess to a functional game.

Nvidia has built an AI chip empire, and that’s resulted in explosive revenue growth in recent years.

Michael Burry of "The Big Short" fame said Nvidia is "simply the purest play" for an investor to bet against the AI boom.

In theory, these chips would flesh out the range and close any gaps between the top models, making them more competitive at comparable prices. But does Nvidia even need that right now?
