The Latest Breaking News from Blackwell

Nvidia is reportedly preparing a China-focused variant of its Blackwell B200 AI GPU, dubbed the B20. This will inevitably require some serious alterations and modifications to comply with U.S. export restrictions, which effectively cap performance at around 600 TFLOPS FP8 — the standard B200 is about 7.5 times that fast.

A prominent hardware leaker has some bad news for enthusiasts impatiently waiting for Nvidia's next generation of consumer graphics cards. 'I think we won't see RTX 50 until CES,' wrote Kopite7kimi earlier today. Sprinkle liberally with the usual skepticism, naturally.

New rumor suggests considerable jumps in TDP with next-gen cards, with RTX 5090 and 5060 getting the biggest increases.

Disappointed we never got an RTX 4090 Super? Modders have made one, giving us a hint of how quick the RTX 5090 might be.

Nvidia shares have powered around a third of the S&P 500's year-to-date gain, adding more than $1 trillion in value over the second quarter alone.

Nvidia is now the world's most-valuable company. It could hold that title for a long time.

Nvidia has passed Microsoft and Apple, becoming the world's most valuable company. The rise in valuation comes on the back of data center GPUs, as the world wants more and more AI processors.

Nvidia's Blackwell gaming-oriented GPU architecture will reportedly not boast any additional render output units compared with Ada Lovelace, according to a leaker. Nvidia will be relying on the Blackwell architecture itself to provide performance improvements, which can of course be designed to work around potential ROPS limitations.

Leak suggests a January 2025 launch for high-end laptop GPUs, but rumored VRAM loadouts are causing controversy.

Will the RTX 5080, 5070, and maybe even lower-tier Blackwell models fall short? We wouldn’t get carried away yet, though…

Are we reaching the limits of GPU innovation or is it just a lack of serious competition? Place your bets now, folks.
