Michael Dell has witnessed a lot of computer history over the course of his legendary 40-year career, yet even the founder of Dell Technologies Inc. appeared reflective when asked to describe the AI impact on the world at large.
Michael Dell talk’s with theCUBE’s John Furrier at Nvidia GTC about AI’s impact.
“I marvel at the incredible pace,” said Dell (pictured, left). “What I see is every company in the world wants to embrace AI. This is not an evolutionary change; it’s a revolution.”
Dell spoke with industry analyst John Furrier (right) of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They spoke on the show floor at Nvidia Corp.’s GTC Conference as part of theCUBE’s extensive coverage of the chipmaker’s signature event in San Jose. In an exclusive interview, Furrier talked with Dell about his company’s latest announcements and AI impact, what customers are saying as they race to adopt AI and how he is personally using artificial intelligence today.

On Tuesday, Dell marked the one-year anniversary of its Dell AI Factory with Nvidia launch by announcing a lineup of new AI PCs. The latest offerings leverage Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture for computing performance.
“Being able to deliver Dell AI factories will allow us to scale up tremendously,” Dell said. “We continue to innovate at every part of the stack. Companies need a lot of help and that’s the help we provide.”
Dell was also among the list of AI server companies released during the conference this week by Nvidia that will use the firm’s Blackwell Ultra AI chip. The latest processor offers 1.5 times the performance of Blackwell and can deliver an up to 50x increase in data center revenue versus the previous Hopper chip generation, according to Nvidia. The announcements underscored continued customer interest in enterprise AI solutions, according to Dell.
“Customers are rapidly moving from proof-of-concept to implementation,” Dell said. “AI is not the only priority, it’s priority one, two and three.”
Like many others, Dell has become an ardent user of AI technology himself. He found that AI’s rapidly improving grasp of complex subjects has made the tools a helpful resource for his own work in running a $95 billion business.
“I use it all the time for everything I’m doing,” Dell told theCUBE. “Think about an infinitely patient tutor. If you like to work and you’re curious, there’s never been a better time to be alive.”
