NVIDIA 2025: Dominating the AI Boom – Company Overview, Key Segments, Competition, and Future Outlook

Nvidia’s New China-Only AI Superchip Outguns H20 Amid U.S.-China Tech Showdown

Nvidia is developing a China-only AI chip named B30A, based on the Blackwell architecture, designed to outpace the current H20 while complying with U.S. export controls. The B30A will be a single-die design and is expected to deliver roughly half the raw computing power of Nvidia’s dual-die B300 accelerator. The B30A will include high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and NVLink interconnect, matching the H20’s interconnect capabilities. Nvidia hopes to ship sample B30A units to Chinese companies for testing as early as September. Analysts say the B30A could be 30-50% less powerful than Nvidia’s top-end hardware but still faster than the H20 in
