Cutting through the 'fake news', Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang says Blackwell's design flaw was '100% Nvidia's fault' and there are no tensions with TSMC

After delays, Nvidia's Blackwell chips are finally shipping to customers, but the roll-out hasn't been completely smooth, as there were recent reports that Nvidia's and TSMC's relationship might be showing signs of stress over some Blackwell chip failures. Now, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has clarified that there aren't any tensions between the two companies and the problem was "100% Nvidia's fault".

As reported by Reuters, Huang admits a Blackwell design flaw but lays blame entirely at Nvidia's own feet. He says "a design flaw with its latest Blackwell AI chips which impacted production has been fixed with the help of longtime Taiwanese manufacturing partner TSMC."
