According to foreign media reports, Nvidia's H20AIGPU chip is expected to begin mass production in the second quarter of 2024, with Wistron as the exclusive supplier.The report mentioned that this chip was designed by Nvidia specifically for mainland China, and its computing performance was limited to comply with the latest U.S. export control requirements. Nvidia previously confirmed that it is developing new "compliance chips" for mainland China.
Although NVIDIA H20 has reduced AI computing power, it has a lower price and supports NVLink high-speed interconnection technology and CUDA.
Huang Renxun admitted that they have many competitors inside and outside China, such as Huawei, Intel and growing semiconductor startups, which pose a serious challenge to Nvidia’s dominant position in the artificial intelligence chip market.
Prior to this, according to US officials, Nvidia will continue to be targeted. Even if they adjust advanced chips and try to meet export standards, they will still be punished.
The United States named Nvidia, claiming that if the company takes some measures to redesign a chip to allow China to implement artificial intelligence projects, "I will take control measures the next day."
It was previously reported that Nvidia is preparing a new AI chip H20 series, whose performance has shrunk by 80% compared to the original version...
