Nvidia Blackwell AI overheats. Is this an opportunity for AMD?
Blackwell graphics chips overheat when connected in server racks designed to support up to 72 chips. Nvidia has reportedly asked suppliers several times to redesign the racks to prevent overheating problems, but they still persist.
However, Nvidia does not seem to see any problems. At least that’s what we can conclude from the statement sent to Reuters:
Nvidia partners with leading cloud service providers as an integral part of our engineering team and processes. Engineering iterations are normal and expected.
Blackwell graphics chips debuted in March this year. Their mass production and physical availability were planned for the second quarter, but the manufacturer encountered delays. Nvidia currently lives in such close symbiosis with giants such as Meta, Google and Microsoft that any delay or defect translates into delays in the implementation of new services.
