The company has been embroiled in rumors that its Blackwell AI GPUs have major issues that require a redesign, as well as leaking issues with the water cooling of Blackwell AI servers. NVIDIA has now shown its new Blackwell AI GPUs in action in real time, and Blackwell is expected to begin production and ship (in small quantities) to customers in Q4 2024.
NVIDIA has also released new photos of the various trays available in the Blackwell family. These first images of the Blackwell trays show just how much engineering and design work has gone into these trays. It’s truly incredible, almost like a work of art… and that’s just the look.
