Reuters reports that according to anonymous sources, Nvidia, the world’s most valuable chipmaker, is developing a new AI chip codenamed B30A for sale in China. This move demonstrates the company’s unwillingness to give up on China as a key growth market, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions between the United States and China.
The B30A chip is said to be half as powerful as Nvidia’s flagship B300 Blackwell GPU, but more advanced than the H20 GPUs the company is currently permitted to sell in China. Unlike the dual-die design used in the more powerful B300 GPUs, the B30A will feature a single-die design. However, it will still share similar features with the H20, such as fast data transmission, support for NVLink, and high-bandwidth memory.
Sources suggest that the development of the B30A is separate from another chip Nvidia is reportedly creating for the Chinese market. In an emailed statement, Nvidia said, “We evaluate a variety of products for our roadmap, so that we can be prepared to compete to the extent that governments allow. Everything we offer is with the full approval of the applicable authorities and designed solely for beneficial commercial use.”
As the race to develop AI intensifies, geopolitical tensions between Beijing and Washington have increasingly affected the industry.
