Nvidia wants the artificial intelligence and deep learning markets badly. It launched its 15-billion transistor Tesla P100 chip in April for deep-learning applications. And now it is announcing two more deep-learning Tesla chips today at an event in China.

Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of Nvidia, announced the Tesla P4 and Tesla P40 graphics processing units (GPU) at the GPU Technology conference in Beijing. He also announced the company’s TensorRT and DeepStream software to boost A.I. for video inferencing as well. The announcements show that A.I. and deep learning are driving the high end of chip development like never before. They will enable A.I.-based services such as voice-activated assistance, email spam filters, and movie and product recommendation engines.
