NVIDIA's freshly unveiled "Blackwell" B200 and GB200 AI GPUs will be getting plenty of coverage this year, but many organizations will be sticking with current or prior generation hardware. Team Green is in the process of shipping out compromised "Hopper" designs to customers in China, but the region's appetite for powerful AI-crunching hardware is growing. Last year's China-specific H800 design, and the older "Ampere" A800 chip were deemed too potent—new regulations prevented further sales. Recently, AMD's Instinct MI309 AI accelerator was considered "too powerful to gain unconditional approval from the US Department of Commerce." Natively-developed solutions are catching up with Western designs, but some institutions are not prepared to queue up for emerging technologies.
