Chinese firms still want Nvidia chips despite govt pressure, sources say

Story: Chinese companies still want Nvidia artificial intelligence chips, although the government does not buy it.

Sources told Reuters.

Sources, such as Alibaba, technology giant, as well as others, Nvidia’s H20 model’s orders are committed, he said.

Nvidia regained the permission of the US government to sell H20 to China in July.

Chinese companies with sources are also closely monitoring a stronger chip plans of the US company called B30A.

One said he promised to be six times stronger than the H20.

Both chips are reduced versions of models sold out of China and have been developed to comply with the US export restrictions.

The extent to which China can access the latest AI chips is an important point of tension with the US.

China has made 13% of Nvidia’s income in the last financial year.

However, Beijing wants to carry the technology industry from US chips.

Sources, Chinese authorities, including Tencent and bangs, including companies called the H20’s purchases, he said.

They asked them to explain the reasons for purchasing and expressed concerns about the risks of information.

However, companies were not ordered to stop buying Nvidia products.
