TOKYO (Reuters) -Leading chipmaker Nvidia and SoftBank Corp, the telecommunications arm of SoftBank Group, have piloted the world's first artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G telecoms network, the two companies said on Wednesday.

SoftBank Group Corp. will be the first to build a supercomputer with chips using Nvidia Corp.’s new Blackwell design, a demonstration of the Japanese company’s ambitions to catch up on AI.

Nvidia is officially launching its Nvidia app on PC today, designed to overhaul and replace the GeForce Experience app. The Nvidia app originally went into beta earlier this year, and it’s now feature complete enough for the beta label to be removed and for the app to soon be bundled with GeForce drivers.

After a year of beta updates, the Nvidia app is officially here, kicking both the Nvidia Control Panel and GeForce Experience to the curb.

NVIDIA claims that its new app installs twice as fast as GeForce Experience and is also said to be 50 per cent more responsive. The app is around 147 MB in size. Unlike the old app that made logging in mandatory to install the latest drivers, the new app lets users install the latest version of the Game Ready drivers without logging in.
