Blackwell-based B40 set to dodge export bans with cheaper silicon

Following yet another US clampdown on AI hardware, Nvidia is scrambling to keep its Chinese revenue stream alive with a watered-down Blackwell GPU called the B40.

Asus has pulled a fast one on the performance PC world by hiding Nvidia's GB300 Ultra chip in a chassis so dull it is like watching paint dry on a beige wall in an insurance office while listening to someone explain how envelopes are made.

Built on NVIDIA’s MGX and DGX Station architectures

MSI has tipped up to Comptex 2025  flaunting its latest AI server arsenal built on Nvidia's MGX and DGX Station architectures.

B-series card coming for the H100’s memory crown

Nvidia has chucked naming convention out the window and launched the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell family at GTC 2025, ditching the B40 branding you’d expect from a successor to the A40, L40, and L40S.

Over a few years, investment worth 500B

Nvidia is working with partners to manufacture AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S. Together with leading manufacturing partners, the company has commissioned more than a million square feet of manufacturing space: facilities in Arizona will build and test NVIDIA Blackwell chips, while those in Texas will assemble the AI supercomputers. Jensen Huang is bringing some jobs back.

Up to 96GB of GDDR6 ECC memory

At GTC 2025, NVIDIA has unveiled its new RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU series for workstations, including a full lineup of desktop and laptop GPUs, as well as a data center-oriented RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition one.

Sales not as good as claimed

Nvidia is trying to convince everyone that its shiny new RTX Blackwell cards have outsold the previous generation 2:1 in the first five weeks.

Leaves Wall Street predictions in the dust

Nvidia has defied expectations again, delivering a 78 per cent surge in fourth-quarter revenue, reaching an eye-watering $39.33 billion and outpacing the cocaine nose jobs of Wall Street's $38.25 billion prediction.

Nvidia shares rebound

Shares in Nvidia picked up after a key partner, Super Micro Computer, said its new AI data centre systems powered by Nvidia’s advanced Blackwell chips are ready to ship.

Blackwell comes to GeForce with RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070

During its CES 2025 keynote, NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang, announced the new generation of graphics cards for desktops, the GeForce RTX 50 series. Available in January, NVIDIA will be launching four SKUs, ranging from $549 to $1,999, including the GeForce RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and the GeForce RTX 5090.
