NVIDIA admits its mistake. It’s 100% their fault

NVIDIA admitted its mistake. The company’s CEO, Jensen Huang, said the recent problems were entirely their fault.

A few weeks ago we learned that the new Blackwell B100 and B200 chips have a serious design flaw. For this reason, the yield from production was very low. The president of the Greens admitted that the problem was entirely their fault.

NVIDIA admits its mistake

It is clear that the problem was serious. Blackwell B100 and B200 GPUs connect their two chiplets using TSMC’s CoWoS-L packaging technology, which relies on an RDL interposer equipped with local silicon bridges (LSI) to enable data transfer rates of approximately 10 TB/s. However, it was likely that a mismatch in thermal expansion properties between the GPU chips, LSI bridges, RDL interposer, and the motherboard substrate was causing the system to warp and crash.

For this reason, NVIDIA had to change the upper metal layer of the system to get rid of the defect. Initially, the fault was blamed on TSMC and their CoWoS-L packaging technology. It turns out that the blame lies entirely with the Greens, as admitted by the company’s president, Jensen Huang.

We had a design flaw in the Blackwell, it was functional, but the design flaw caused performance to be poor. It was 100% NVIDIA’s fault.

– said Jensen Huang.

However, the most important thing is that the problem has been solved and the new systems now work as intended. However, this caused small delays. Mass production starts at the end of October. The first Blackwell B100/B200 models will be delivered to customers early next year.
