“AI requires a whole reinvention of computing, full-stack rethinking, from chips to systems, algorithms, tools, the ecosystem,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in his GTC 2020 keynote Monday. “Nvidia is a full-stack computing company. We love working on extremely hard computing problems that have great impact on the world. This is right in our wheelhouse.”

What follows is a roundup of the eight biggest GTC 2020 product announcements made by Nvidia that you may have missed.
