Nvidia ‘considering’ new AI chip for China but rules out Hopper series
South China Morning PostThursday, May 29, 2025 at 12:00:08 PM
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang hinted that the company might develop a new AI chip specifically for China, but confirmed it won’t be part of their high-performance Hopper series. The move comes as U.S. export restrictions make it tough for Nvidia to sell its top-tier tech in China, forcing them to explore workarounds. For now, though, there’s no concrete product ready—just cautious optimism.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about chips—it’s a high-stakes chess game between tech giants and geopolitics. Nvidia’s trying to keep a foothold in China’s massive market without running afoul of U.S. rules, but the uncertainty leaves everyone guessing. If they pull it off, it could reshape how AI hardware gets traded globally. If not, China might double down on homegrown alternatives. Either way, the ripple effects will be huge.
