Nvidia reportedly developing new AI chip for China that meets export controls – B30 could include NVLink for creation of high-performance clusters

Nvidia Hopper HGX H200.

Following the export ban of its H20 chips to China, Nvidia is reportedly designing a Blackwell-based alternative dubbed B30 with multi-GPU scaling capabilities, according to The Information. Multiple leaks have reported different names for this accelerator, shifting from the RTX Pro 6000D to B40, and now B30, possibly indicating different variants within the forthcoming BXX family.

The Information claims that Nvidia's future B30 solutions will support connecting multiple GPUs for scaling. It's important to note these accelerators are reportedly built using GDDR7 memory, employing GB20X silicon — the same chips that power consumer-grade RTX 50 GPUs. While many believe this 'multi-GPU scaling' capability refers to NVLink, Nvidia has excluded NVLink support from its consumer-grade GPU dies since the last generation.
