Nvidia is preparing the latest generation anti-sanction AI accelerator Blackwell for China

It is difficult to deny that the American company Nvidia has a strong desire to continue supplying computing accelerators to China even in the face of constantly evolving US sanctions. According to some reports, it is now preparing to adapt its Blackwell generation accelerators to current restrictions; the corresponding product is referred to as B20.

If we draw analogies with the flagship solution in the official line of Nvidia accelerators for China called H20 with Hopper architecture, then we are probably talking about the preparation of its direct successor. The US authorities, formulating export control rules, limit the computational accelerators supplied to China both in terms of speed and in terms of cluster scaling. It is difficult to guess how much Nvidia will have to cut the characteristics of Blackwell accelerators to meet the current requirements of the US authorities.

News of Nvidia’s corresponding activity was published today by Reuters, citing its own informed sources. The company allegedly intends to cooperate with the Chinese manufacturer of server equipment Inspur, which will distribute new generation accelerators in the Chinese market on legal terms. Officially, the existence of relevant plans is not advertised, but a similar conspiracy preceded the announcement of the H20, L20 and L2 accelerators, adapted by the company to the new operating conditions in the Chinese market.
