Nvidia builds new AI chip for China with powerful computing cluster capabilities: report
Semiconductor giant Nvidia is developing a new China-tailored artificial intelligence (AI) chip that complies with US export regulations and will enable users to link multiple units to create high-performance computing clusters, according to a report by digital publication The Information.
Nvidia plans to produce more than 1 million units of its new B30 chip this year, the report said, amid efforts by the company to preserve its market share in the world's second-largest economy in the face of
Washington's tightened tech restrictions
Santa Clara, California-based Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.
Nvidia is expected to introduce its new China-tailored graphics processing unit (GPU) in July, according to a Jefferies research note on Monday. It said the AI chip would likely be based on the company's
Blackwell platform , which was introduced last year.
Speculation on Nvidia's potential new GPU for China has intensified since the company revealed in mid-April
new US export controls on its H20 chips , which were designed for Chinese customers. Nvidia said it would take US$5.5 billion in charges under that measure.
