NVIDIA to Halt H20 AI Accelerator Production in China After Current Inventory, Shifting Focus to New Blackwell B20 AI Chip

NVIDIA’s got a whole game plan for China’s AI playground. More than just tossing their H20 AI gizmo over there, they’re cooking up something fresh with their Blackwell tech. Wild, right?

### NVIDIA’s Betting on the Blackwell B20 for China — if They Can Get Past the Red Tape

Okay, so there’s a lot to unpack about this H20 situation. First, there was this ban thingy, and NVIDIA had already hit the pause button on the H20, looking to whip up something new with Blackwell brains. But then — bam — restrictions landed thanks to the previous U.S. administration. It was like the universe had other plans for those Chinese orders already in line. Crazy times.

So, fun fact, they said H20’s gonna be sold like “get it while it lasts”—no more after it’s gone. Big wigs angling to dodge export rules are in a bit of a pickle now, like figuring out quantities and all that. Quite a head-scratcher, honestly.

Now, rumor has it (shout-out to Cailianshe) that NVIDIA’s sticking to the script. They won’t be snagging more H20 orders. Instead, keep your eyes peeled for a shiny new toy by year-end. China’s AI market and NVIDIA? Let’s just say they’re a bit behind the global cool kids by a few rounds. Time to catch up, don’t you think?

In this whole shebang, a quip from an insider goes, “NVIDIA’s not bulking up H20 anymore—because, duh, new series incoming.” Yeah, H20’s been old news for a while. Once the final batch rolls out, say bye-bye to production lines. Just like that.

Their H20 stash? Billions, folks. Enough to keep China chugging for a good few months. Industry buzz says NVIDIA’s Blackwell spawn—probably the B20—is hitting shelves next quarter. Gives ’em time to flash their wares and roll out the red carpet for new arrivals. B20, B30, RTX 6000D—oh my! They’re aiming to have something for everyone. Let’s see how this unfolds.
