NVIDIA is reportedly developing an AI chip for China more powerful than the H20

NVIDIA is working on a new AI chip meant for the Chinese market that's more powerful than the H20, according to Reuters. It will reportedly be based on the company's latest Blackwell architecture, which can produce chips between seven and 30 times faster than its previous AI platform. Reuters says the product is tentatively named B30A and will have a single-die design, putting all its main components on a single piece of silicon. It will apparently be capable of half the computing power of NVIDI

Nvidia Will Let You Add Your Own Steam Games to Stream Via GeForce Now

Nvidia's announcements at the 2025 Gamescom show were sprinkled with the usual minor technology refreshes across its software platforms, but the biggest updates are coming to its GeForce Now cloud gaming service.

NVIDIA's GeForce NOW game streaming gets RTX 5080 GPUs, better image quality and more

NVIDIA's GeForce NOW game streaming service is leveling-up in September with the addition of RTX 5080 GPUs, which will allow for 5K streaming at up to 120fps (or 1080p/320fps for the truly frame-hungry). While you'll need to be on the $20-a-month GeForce Now Ultimate tier to use RTX 5080 streaming servers, NVIDIA at least isn't raising that tier's price. Subscribers at that level will still receive 100 hours of monthly playtime (with 15 hours of rollover), up to eight-hour long sessions and acce

Game Streaming Will Never Be the Same After Nvidia’s GeForce Now Update

What if game streaming was your main way to play your games? That idea—once merely a pipedream—is inching closer to reality with Nvidia’s latest update to GeForce Now. Come September, players will be able to rent out a server worth 100GB or more to play whatever game they want, so long as they already own it. Even with more games and better streaming visuals, streaming can’t replace all your gaming gear. But if you were feeling antsy about how much that new PC upgrade or future console could cos

U.S. Allegedly Super-Charged Its Efforts to Prevent China From Getting American Chips

The Trump administration has made curbing China’s access to high-powered AI chips a high priority. According to the government, China may use the chips to build up its arsenal of military technology, and it simply can’t have that. At the same time, America’s considerable and longstanding chip export controls may also be aimed at slowing China’s own chip industry. Now, a report from Reuters claims that the government has been embedding location tracking devices in AI chip shipments, in an effort

Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble?

When Jensen Huang, the chief executive of the chipmaker Nvidia, met with Donald Trump in the White House last week, he had reason to be cheerful. Most of Nvidia’s chips, which are widely used to train generative artificial-intelligence models, are manufactured in Asia.

How a once-tiny research lab helped Nvidia become a $4 trillion-dollar company

When Bill Dally joined Nvidia’s research lab in 2009, it employed only about a dozen people and was focused on ray tracing, a rendering technique used in computer graphics. That once-small research lab now employs more than 400 people, who have helped transform Nvidia from a video game GPU startup in the nineties to a $4 trillion-dollar company fueling the artificial intelligence boom. Now, the company’s research lab has its sights set on developing the tech needed to power robotics and AI.
