Following a turbulent summer that saw sales of Nvidia's China-only HGX H20 AI chip banned and then unbanned in China, the AI GPU now faces an uncertain future. A new report suggests that Nvidia is abruptly stopping production of the HGX H20, which Nvidia has responded to in a statement provided to Tom's Hardware. This comes soon after reports earlier this week that Nvidia is preparing a successor to the chip, the Blackwell Ultra-based B30A.
A report from The Information claims that Nvidia has asked suppliers to wind down production of H20-related work. According to the report, Nvidia sent these communications to Amkor Technology, which handles packaging for the H20, and Samsung Electronics, which provides the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for the AI chip. This could potentially signal that production of the H20 is winding down, but that leaves the door open to more questions.
