Nvidia working on new AI chip for China that outperforms the H20, Reuters reports
The new AI chip aims to enhance Nvidia's technology offerings in China but faces uncertain US regulatory approval amid national security concerns, sources said.
- Nvidia is developing a new AI chip for China based on its latest Blackwell architecture, more powerful than the H20 model, with samples expected next month.
- Last week, US President Donald Trump opened the door to more advanced Nvidia chip sales in China, but sources noted US regulatory approval remains far from guaranteed amid deep Washington fears.
- Featuring NVLink technology, the chip uses GDDR memory and delivers bandwidth just below 1.4 terabytes, with Nvidia preparing the RTX6000D for China.
- Chinese state media have alleged security risks in recent weeks, prompting cautions against Nvidia's H20 purchases, while Nvidia responded that its chips carry no backdoor risks.
- U.S. legislators have worried that access to scaled-down AI chips will impede America’s AI lead, as China generated 13% of Nvidia’s revenue in the past financial year.
