Overview

  • Reuters-sourced reports say the B30A uses a single-die Blackwell design with roughly half the raw compute of Nvidia’s dual-die B300.
  • The chip is described as faster than the H20 and is expected to offer high‑bandwidth memory, NVLink, and up to about 144GB of HBM3E.
  • Windows Central, citing Reuters, reports Nvidia aims to provide sample units to Chinese customers as early as next month.
  • Nvidia said it evaluates products to compete where permitted and that any offerings comply fully with applicable authorities.
  • Breitbart reports that U.S. officials and other sources say Nvidia agreed to remit 15% of China chip revenue to the U.S. government, a claim not independently corroborated in these articles.
