NVIDIA SELLS NEW AI CHIPS TO CHINA, BUT NOT BEHIND BIDEN’S BACK
Nvidia sells new AI chips on Chinese e-commerce platforms that go against US export norms
In order to continue selling its goods to clients in China while also adhering to new US export control restrictions, US graphics card giant Nvidia now sells new AI chips that are specifically made for the Chinese market. It’s to maintain growth as the largest chip market in the world.
Highlighting that Nvidia sells new AI chips to China despite the Biden administration’s call for “tech decoupling.” Nvidia’s A800 GPU chips are a replacement for the A100 chip, whose sale to Chinese customers is now prohibited by the US government. The existence of the new device was originally reported by Reuters, and it was later verified by the Santa Clara, California-based Nvidia. The chip-to-chip data transfer rate is 400 gigabytes (GB) per second, as opposed to the advanced A100’s 600GB per second, according to the AI chips description. The two GPUs don’t differ significantly from one another other from this.
