A serious design flaw is reportedly behind the delay, which could push back sales at least three months. Credit: Nvidia Nvidia has notified customers that its new AI chips in the Blackwell series will be at least three months late, according to The Information. The B200 chip was shown off in March, but a serious design flaw found recently needs to be fixed before they are rolled out widely, according to the site’s sources. According to The Verge, it will be difficult for Nvidia and its partner TSMC to deliver any larger quantities of the chip before the end of the year, as they need to do extensive testing first. The delay is a major setback for Nvidia, but also for Microsoft, Google and Meta, which ordered tens of billions of dollars worth of chips. Nvidia’s work on AI chips has sparked something of a chips war with rivals Intel and AMD.
