TapTechNews August 3rd news, according to The Information reported this morning Beijing time, two insiders who help produce Nvidia's new AI chips and server hardware revealed that due to the existence of a design defect, the release of Nvidia's new AI chip will be postponed for three months or even longer.
The report points out that this defect may affect a series of big clients such as Meta, Google, and Microsoft, as they have all ordered chips worth tens of billions of dollars.
In addition, a Microsoft employee and another insider disclosed that Nvidia informed Microsoft and another large cloud computing provider this week that its the most advanced AI chip in the new Blackwell chip will be delayed. It is known that Microsoft is one of Nvidia's largest customers.
And according to TapTechNews' previous report, in July this year, Nvidia added a 4nm chip order to TSMC to meet customer needs, and the wafer output of the Blackwell platform GPU chip increased by 25%. Industry insiders believe that as TSMC begins to produce the Blackwell platform architecture graphics processor, it means that Nvidia's AI server equipped with the the strongest AI chip on the surface is about to be delivered, which will open a new chapter in the field of AI.
