Shares in engineering software companies Synopsys, Cadence Design Systems, and Ansys all experienced gains exceeding 2% after Huang's announcement. He revealed that these companies would be utilizing Nvidia's new Blackwell processors to integrate advanced AI features within their software products.

"The enterprise IT industry possesses a gold mine of data and incredible tools accumulated over time, along with a deep understanding of work processes," Huang remarked. "They are sitting on a tremendous opportunity."
