NVIDIA Rebrands Blackwell Ultra to B300 Series, Featuring Advanced HBM3E Memory and TSMC Packaging

NVIDIA renames Blackwell Ultra to B300 series: HBM3E 12-Hi memory, TSMC CoWoS-L packaging

NVIDIA has reportedly rebranded all of its upcoming Blackwell Ultra products to the B300 series, with the beefed-up B300 and GB300 chips to also reportedly use TSMC's new CoWoS-L advanced packaging. In a new report from TrendForce, we're learning that the B200 Ultra has been renamed to the B300, while the GB200 Ultra has been renamed to the GB300. On top of that, the B200A Ultra and GB200A Ultra will be called the B300A and GB300A, respectively. NVIDIA is expected to launch its now rebranded B300 and GB300 chips in Q2 2025 to Q3 2025, whilew the B200 and GB200 is shipping in small quantities now, more throughout Q4 2024 and things really kick off in Q1 2025. TrendForce notes that NVIDIA is "refining its Blackwell chip segmentation to better meet the performance demands of CSPs and the cost-performance needs of server OEMs, allowing for flexibility based on supply chain capabilities. The B300A is specifically aimed at OEM clients, with mass production projected to commence in the second quarter of 2025 following peak shipments of the H200". NVIDIA's new B300 and GB300 AI chips will be using new HBM3E 12-Hi stack memory, which SK hynix recently showed off. The faster HBM3E 12-Hi memory is expected to enter production between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025, with suppliers requiring around 6 months to refine their processes and stabilize production yields reports TrendForce.

NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra AI GPUs To Be Called B300, Feature 12-Hi HBM3E & TSMC CoWoS-L Tech

NVIDIA's next-gen Blackwell Ultra GPUs for AI computing are going to use the B300 branding, & feature upgraded HBM3e specs. NVIDIA To Debut The B300 "Blackwell Ultra" AI Series, An Upgraded Package With Heightened HBM3e Capabilities TrendForce reports that the original Blackwell Ultra lineup, which was said to be the immediate successor to the firm's Blackwell products, has reportedly been shifted to a new naming convention, called the B300 series (via TrendForce), which is a relatively more compact tag. Under this branding, the B200 Ultra AI accelerator and the GB200 Ultra AI server, which have now been renamed as the B300 and the GB300, respectively, and a similar case would apply to the "A" series AI products, such as the B200A Ultra. While the motive behind this move hasn't been defined yet, NVIDIA is likely switching up the naming scheme to depict the architectural changes the firm is going to make with the B300 series. Interestingly, the original B200A series planned by NVIDIA isn't anticipated to be released in the markets. The B200A series would now be adjusted with the launch of the B300 lineup under the B300A "Blackwell Ultra" tag, which is hoped to attract enterprise clients who aren't looking to go all out when it comes to building their own AI computing power. NVIDIA's existing Blackwell portfolio has been booked out for the next 12 months and seeing an incredible adoption rate backed by insane demand. The company is expected to earn Billions in revenues in the coming quarter and even more so at the start of 2025. The NVIDIA B300 Blackwell Ultra lineup will feature a mix of HGX, MGX and NVL configurations with NVL-36 and NVL72 being the powerhouse for servers and datacenters. These chips will incorporate up to 288 GB of HBM3e memory and also come in 144 GB packages For comparison, the recently launched MI325X GPU from AMD offers 256 GB capacities and the upcoming MI350X which is going to target a 2H 2025 launch will offer up to 288 GB capacities too. In terms of release dates, NVIDIA's B300 "Blackwell Ultra" AI products are expected to be available in the markets by Q2-Q4 of 2025. Team Green is looking to adopt 12-hi HBM3e memory along with CoWoS-L in the lineup, with the intent of bringing massive performance uplifts.
