Nvidia considers increasing H200 chip output due to robust China demand, sources say
Nvidia considers expanding H200 chip output after Chinese orders surpassed supply amid U.S. export approval with a 25% fee, driven by unmatched chip performance.
- On Tuesday, Nvidia told Chinese clients it is evaluating adding H200 AI chip production after orders exceeded current output, following U.S. approval with a 25% export fee and interest from Alibaba and ByteDance.
- Chinese firms are pressing for H200s because it is the fastest AI chip deployed last year, with compute performance 2-3 times that of top domestic accelerators, Nori Chiou said.
- Very limited quantities of H200 are in production as Nvidia prioritizes Blackwell and Rubin lines, and expanding output would face stiff competition for memory and packaging from other designers and Nvidia itself.
- Chinese officials convened emergency meetings on Wednesday to discuss bundling H200 purchases with domestic chips, while Nvidia shares gained premarket but pared after Beijing regulators’ talks.
- Supply concerns mean the H200's power surpasses domestic AI chips, analysts warn, and expanded exports would strain TSMC capacity plus memory and packaging resources.
