Starting Nvidia from scratch and growing it into a $3 trillion company took three decades and stretched Jensen Huang to his absolute limit. "Building a company is insanely hard," the chipmaker's cofounder said in a video shown at "Acquired Live" last month and posted online this week.

Nvidia chief Jensen Huang said during an interview with CNBC on Wednesday that demand for the tech giant’s Blackwell “Superchip” is “insane,” sending Nvidia shares up more than 3% on Thursday. Nvidia shares reached as high as $124.26 on Thursday before cooling down to $122.80 at market close, a 3.3% jump.

"Blackwell is in full production, Blackwell is as planned," Jensen Huang said. "Everybody wants to have the most and everybody wants to be first."
