Tech war: Nvidia to tailor another set of chips for China clients after updated US export control curbs, distributor says

In the world of technology, a big company from the United States named Nvidia is known for creating powerful computer chips that help with artificial intelligence, or AI. These chips are called GPUs, and Nvidia had made two types, the A800 and H800, especially for their customers in China. However, the US government updated their rules on what can be sold to other countries, and now Nvidia can't sell these GPUs to China anymore. nnBut Nvidia didn't give up. They designed a new server called the HGX H20 and two new GPUs, the L20 and L2, that meet the new US rules. This news came from a person who sells Nvidia's products in Beijing. They explained that these new chips are based on the H100 GPU, which is a very advanced chip used for training AI but was also stopped from being sold to China earlier. nnNvidia hasn't made any official comments on this situation yet. If they confirm these developments, it would highlight the importance of the Chinese market to American chip companies and their efforts to adapt to the changing regulations. Micron Technology, another US chip company, faced restrictions in China but still showed their commitment by participating in a big expo in Shanghai. The US's stricter rules aim to limit China's growth in AI and chip making, but companies like Nvidia and Micron are finding ways to stay in the Chinese market. Nvidia earns a significant portion of its income from China, so these changes are very important to them.
