After the US Departme of Commerce restricted the export of Nvidia’s H20 chips to China, it is said that the company, in collaboration with Deepsic, is planning to develop artificial ielligence chips for China.
The US Departme of Commerce recely announced that Nvidia needs special licenses to export its H20 chips to China, but according to a new report released by CTEE, Nvidia plans to develop custom artificial ielligence chips in collaboration with the Dip -Sick Startup.
Nvidia was to maiain its share of the Chinese market
The details of this cooperation are still unclear, but Nvidia claims to be completely rely on the China’s iernal supply chain, including partnerships to use HBM, process knot and packaging facilities. In addition, CTEE claims that Nvidia plans to closer to the market and maiain its presence in China by launching the China Research Ceer.
Chinese companies are using H20 chips to teach artificial ielligence models and build dataceers, but the US governme is worried that China will benefit from these chips to build supercomputers. Dedicated H20 chips are designed for the Chinese market and have less processing power than other Nvidia products, but this has not allowed Chinese buyers to access them.
China is one of Nvidia’s largest buyers, accouing for 5 % of Nvidia’s total sales in the last fiscal year. Also since the beginning of the year, Nvidia has been able to end the $ 5 billion H20 chip’s coract with Chinese companies. Of course, due to the imposition of new export restrictions, these coracts are probably not. Nvidia has announced that the company will cost $ 1.5 billion to China as a result of the export of the H20 chips.
Of course, Nvidia’s willingness to develop artificial ielligence chips for China is still speculation, and due to the increasing tensions between Washington and Beijing, Nvidia must first satisfy American regulatory agencies.
