Here’s the AI chip news that caught my attention today. Nvidia is reportedly working on a new AI accelerator called the B30A, designed for China’s market. It’s based on the Blackwell architecture, more powerful than the H20, yet engineered to comply with U.S. export restrictions. (Reuters)

Why the B30A Is a Big Deal

The B30A reportedly combines a single-chiplet with high-bandwidth memory and NVLink support, offering about half the power of Nvidia’s B300—but still a solid step up from H20. It’s expected to hit trial runs with Chinese partners as early as next month. (Reuters)

Why I’m Watching This

Given the tightrope Nvidia walks between tech innovation and export control, the B30A feels like a clever workaround—offering real power without crossing political lines. It hints at how tech giants might navigate geopolitical constraints while still meeting massive demand.
