  • Nvidia's newest AI chip will cost anywhere from $30,000 to $40,000, CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC.
  • The Blackwell chip, unveiled Monday, is a big step up from its predecessor, Hopper.
  • Hopper could cost roughly $40,000 in high demand; the A100 before it cost much less at around $10,000.

Nvidia showed off its latest innovation in AI chips this week, and the groundbreaking technology isn't cheap.
