NVIDIA's new B30 AI GPU won't be sold before September, Chinese companies testing samples now

NVIDIA's new B30 AI GPU won't be arriving until September, with Chinese customers needing to wait a couple of more months according to the latest report.

In a new report published by the Financial Times picked up by insider @Jukanrosleve on X, we're hearing that the NVIDIA B30 AI GPU not being sold before September is because NVIDIA asked for prior assurance from the Trump administration that it wouldn't be breaching the new US export regulations, and then seeing its new B30 banned after it is introduced.

NVIDIA's new B30 AI GPU specifications could change before now and September, depending on its discussions with the US government, and if the specifications change, Jukan says that it might primarily involve enabling NVLink. The new B30 AI GPU is rumored to have NVLink disabled, making it more of a modified RTX PRO 6000 workstation GPU (as it doesn't have HBM, and uses GDDR7 instead).

The Financial Times reports from two people familiar with NVIDIA's plans for its new China-exclusive B30 AI GPU, is that NVIDIA clients in China have already been testing samples of the new AI chip and have expressed interest in "significant orders".
