# NVIDIA unveils Volta V100 with Tensor Cores

Date: 2017

## The fact

At GTC 2017 NVIDIA unveiled Volta V100 with Tensor Cores, a completed datacenter-AI silicon instrument under Huang.

## Context

Neighbouring CUDA 2006 is the software. Neighbouring A100 is later 2020. He did not write an OpenAI charter.

CUDA 2006 is neighbouring software. A100 2020 is later silicon. H100 2023 is later.

[Jensen Huang](/people/jensen-huang) has been NVIDIA’s co-founder and CEO since April 1993. He does not write a BIS Entity List, a Commission DMA article, a TSMC fab act, a Chinese CAC circular, or a French Autorité decision. A GTC keynote is not a completed export licence. A subpoena is not a conviction. CUDA is not a court finding of monopoly unless a court so found. TSMC fabricates; hyperscalers buy; Beijing and Washington write the licence. Keep those dates separate. A Greenpeace cake is not a unique ppm. A DOE supercomputer is not a unique arsenal coefficient as his personal tally.

## Evidence and sources

NVIDIA carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [industrial-policy activism](/drivers/industrial-policy-activism) and ai-regulation-adjacent compute: a completed Tensor-Core GPU is a training-capacity instrument.

## What is established and what is not

Established: May 2017 Volta V100 unveil, independently reported.

Not established: that 2022 chatbots were thereby this keynote, or a unique later energy coefficient from GTC 2017.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Architects designed. TSMC fabricated. Clouds bought. OpenAI did not yet exist as ChatGPT.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies NVIDIA unveils Volta V100 with Tensor Cores, not a later speech about NVIDIA unveils Volta V100 with Tensor Cores.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. NVIDIA unveils Volta V100 with Tensor Cores on 2017-05-10 is not a licence to treat every later NVIDIA communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average NVIDIA unveils Volta V100 with Tensor Cores into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He unveiled as CEO. Architects designed. TSMC fabricated. Clouds bought. OpenAI did not yet exist as ChatGPT. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
