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.
