Nvidia's upcoming Blackwell AI chips are facing significant delays due to design flaws, which will affect major clients such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.

The delay is expected to last around three months or more, potentially pushing shipments to as late as the first quarter of 2025.

Nvidia recently informed Microsoft and other major cloud service providers about the production delays concerning the advanced AI chip in the Blackwell series.

This situation could significantly impact major customers, including Meta Platforms and Alphabet's Google, which have collectively ordered tens of billions of dollars' worth of Nvidia chips.

Despite the situation, major companies affected, including Microsoft, Meta, and Google, have chosen not to comment publicly.

The information regarding the delays was reported by the tech publication The Information, citing sources involved in Nvidia's chip and server hardware production.

Nvidia initially unveiled its Blackwell chip series in March 2024, positioning it as the successor to the Grace Hopper Superchip, which is designed for generative AI applications.

An Nvidia spokesperson confirmed strong demand for the Hopper chip and noted that Blackwell sampling has begun, with production expected to ramp up in the latter half of the year.

While production is anticipated to ramp up later this year, Nvidia did not provide specific details regarding communications with its customers.
