Around 13:45 GMT, the title of the group of Santa Clara (California) gained 4.87% to 408.43 dollars after having taken more than 25% last week.

By reaching $ 404.86 at the opening, the share has tipped the American manufacturer - initially specialized in graphics cards for video games - in the very closed circle of five groups displaying more than a trillion valuation.

These are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Saudi Aramco.

Founded thirty years ago by Taiwanese-American engineer Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang, Nvidia first developed graphics processing units (GPUs) to improve image quality for gamers.

These chips have a computing capacity much higher than that of a conventional computer, a potential that quickly interested developers of artificial intelligence, which is intensive in data processing.

These processors are a central ingredient in the generative AI revolution, capable of delivering the computing hardware needed to deliver complex content in seconds from data centers around the world.

Last week, Nvidia had reported better-than-expected results and had especially published an astronomical forecast for its second quarter, representing an increase of 64% compared to the same quarter of 2022.

On Monday at the Computex technology fair in Taiwan, the group presented new products including an artificial intelligence supercomputer platform called DGX GH200 that will interest cloud (remote computing) and AI giants.

"We are delighted that Google Cloud, Meta and Microsoft are the first companies in the world to have access to it," Huang said in a speech in Taiwan.
