Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Tuesday (June 2) that the company has enough supply to accommodate robust growth in central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs) as it rides an AI boom.

The company, considered a barometer for the AI market's health as its semiconductors are used in virtually every major data centre in the world, acknowledged, however, that supply constraints remain a concern.  

Huang was speaking a day after the US$5 trillion chip company unveiled a new chip that brings AI capabilities directly to personal computers.

Nvidia's new chip, which will be launched in the fall, would pit it against the likes of Advanced Micro Devices, Intel and Apple.

Huang said the RTX Spark PC chip is part of Nvidia's efforts with Microsoft  to "reinvent the PC" for the AI era.

Born in Taiwan's southern city of Tainan, the Nvidia chief announced plans last week to invest around US$150 billion a year in Taiwan, describing it as the epicentre of the AI revolution.

At the press conference on Tuesday, Huang said Taiwan is a strategic partner for the U.S. because the island is investing in U.S. manufacturing. The company plans to continue to invest in Taiwan and make the supply chain as resilient as possible.

Demand for Nvidia AI chips, or GPUs, has generated tens of billions of dollars of revenue and helped make the company the most valuable in the world.
