China has failed tremendously in stopping its tech firms from using banned NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs that are being sold on the black market for double the price. The US Banned NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs Because They Were Too Cutting Edge, & China Banned Them To Focus On Domestic Solutions, But Strong Demand From Tech Firms See Doubling of Prices In Black Market The NVIDIA Blackwell GPU family has been entirely banned in China for AI workloads. The US Government banned them because Blackwell was a bit too cutting-edge, even limiting sales of the gamer-oriented RTX 5090 and relaunching a cut-down variant […]

The Linux 7.2 Kernel Patches have seen the addition of a next-gen NVIDIA GPU architecture, cleverly listed as "Blackwell-Next". NVIDIA Ramps Up Support For Next-Gen GPU Architectures, Including Blackwell-Next, For Linux 7.2 NVIDIA's GPU architectures are not a mystery since the company has been outlining them in roadmaps for years now. We knew that Rubin was going to replace Blackwell years before its launch, and now we know that Feynman will replace Rubin. NVIDIA has only started volume production of Rubin, but internally, the company is prepping some big support for its next-generation architectures before they even ship. Phoronix spotted […]

NVIDIA's Vera Rubin is entering data centers soon, and the rise of Agentic AI also comes with a mammoth rise in costs. NVIDIA Vera Rubin AI Data Centers Will Be Expensive To Build & Will Consume Lots of Power, A Single GigaWatt Installation Could Cost Roughly $50 Billion The Vera Rubin era is upon us. The first systems are already being shipped to major cloud providers who are validating and testing them before bringing them up on scale. With the full volume production already going on, NVIDIA is eyeing an even bigger success than Blackwell. But as these systems are […]
