According to U.S. media reports, the U.S. semiconductor giant NVIDIA reached a historic milestone on the 28th, with its market value approaching $5 trillion for the first time.

The plan to build a supercomputer for the U.S. Department of Energy is seen as the reason for the surge, with NVIDIA's stock rising about 5%. Its market value expanded by over $230 billion, reaching approximately $494 billion.

NVIDIA's CEO Huang Renxun announced that the company plans to build seven new supercomputers for the U.S. Department of Energy.

Due to NVIDIA's leadership in the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor market, the company's stock has risen by 50% since the beginning of the year. Its market value reached a historical high of $400 billion in July.

Microsoft, which is competing for market value, rose 2% today, reaching a market value of $403 billion. Apple's market value also touched the $400 billion level for the first time on the same day.

The CEO of the U.S. semiconductor giant NVIDIA, Huang Renxun, announced on the 28th that the company plans to build seven new supercomputers for the U.S. Department of Energy. These supercomputers are expected to help maintain and develop the United States' nuclear weapons.

During a keynote speech at the developer conference "GTC" held in Washington, Huang Renxun praised President Trump's policies and announced new products and contracts, such as network technology that allows NVIDIA's AI chips to run on quantum computers.

"Through promoting energy growth nationwide, the situation has completely changed," he said, and again thanked Trump, saying, "Without this, we might have been in a terrible situation." He also stated that the company's total orders for AI chips will reach $500 billion.

Supercomputers are also used for research into alternative energy sources, such as nuclear fusion. The largest supercomputer of the Department of Energy will be built in collaboration with Oracle, and will be equipped with 100,000 cutting-edge NVIDIA Blackwell semiconductors for artificial intelligence.
