Google, Meta, and Microsoft are among those betting billions on Nvidia's GPUs amid an AI arms race. Google has ordered more than 400,000 GB200 chips, The Information reports, in a deal valued well north of $10 billion.
Meta also has a $10bn order, while Microsoft was expecting to have 55-65,000 GB200 GPUs ready for OpenAI by the first quarter. That now seems unlikely.
The production issue was discovered by manufacturer TSMC, and involves the processor die that connects two Blackwell GPUs on a GB200.”
