Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares rose nearly 2% on Tuesday after an engineering consortium said that the GPU giant's most advanced chips set new performance records.
MLCommons, which describes itself as an open engineering consortium with a mission to benefit society by accelerating innovation in machine learning, said Nvidia's (NVDA) H100 GPUs had the fastest time in system tests used to train large language models.

Nvidia, along with Intel's (INTC) Habana Labs, were the only two chip firms to submit results for the test, while other submitters include Dell (DELL), Lenovo and Super Micro Computer (SMCI).
Led by CEO Jensen Huang, Nvidia (NVDA) unveiled the first version of its Hopper-based H100 at its GTC conference last year. This past March, Nvidia showed off the new H100NVL
The MLPerf test is based on GPT-3, the AI model that is used to train OpenAI's ChatGPT. In March, OpenAI said its new AI model, GPT-4, was able to score better on the SAT exam than more than 90% of all people.Full results of the testing can be viewed here.
