Nvidia has unveiled the Blackwell B300, its next-generation AI chip that can train GPT-5 scale models in hours rather than weeks, while consuming 60% less energy than the current H200 generation.
Performance
The B300 delivers 20 petaflops of AI performance — 4x the H200. A single rack of 72 B300 GPUs replaces what previously required an entire data center, dramatically reducing infrastructure requirements.
Market Impact
Priced at $40,000 per chip, demand already exceeds supply by 10x. Every major cloud provider and AI lab has placed orders worth billions.
