Nvidia's China-Specific AI Chip Development

​Nvidia is adapting its latest flagship AI chips for the China market to comply with current U.S. export controls. This strategic move aims to maintain Nvidia's foothold in China while adhering to international regulations.

Key Points

• Nvidia is developing the "B20" chip for the Chinese market, with shipments expected to start in Q2 2025.

• Nvidia will collaborate with Inspur, a major distributor partner in China, for the launch and distribution of the "B20" chip.

• The chip is expected to help Nvidia compete against Chinese firms like Huawei in the advanced AI processor market.

• Nvidia's revenue from China has declined due to U.S. sanctions, but the company is on track to sell over 1 million H20 chips in China this year, worth over $12 billion.

This strategic adaptation is crucial for Nvidia to maintain its competitive edge amid evolving geopolitical landscapes and stringent export controls.
