Although Nvidia's Blackwell chips are finally starting to line server racks—for example, Microsoft Azure servers—they're still arriving a little later than initially planned. But perhaps they should have arrived even later, as we're now hearing word that the chips might have been rushed to market too soon.
Tech site The Information (via Business Korea) reports that "during testing of the Blackwell chips in the weeks after Huang's announcement, Nvidia engineers discovered that the chips failed in the types of high-voltage environments that are common in data centers". This is supposedly according to "two people with direct knowledge of the problem".
