Before Berlin
NVIDIA’s GTC Berlin news blog is running coverage of the European events leading up to the conference. Its October 15 entries cover Huang’s visit to Stockholm, where NVIDIA describes Sferical One as a just-launched shared supercomputer built on NVIDIA systems for researchers in Sweden and the Nordics, and where Volvo Cars announced an expanded automated-driving partnership with NVIDIA.
We will report what NVIDIA announces on stage on October 21. Chips shown at earlier events are listed in our AI chips table, with background in our explainers on Nvidia Rubin and the GB200 NVL72 rack, and our previous event report covered the OCP Global Summit 2026.
