Nvidia is set to launch a cheaper AI chip for China based on its latest Blackwell architecture, expected to enter mass production in June.
The new chip will be a more affordable alternative to the H20, priced between $6,500 and $8,000, featuring simpler design elements and using traditional GDDR7 memory instead of HBM.
The GPU is geared towards China's data center market amidst U.S. export restrictions on advanced chip technologies, with Nvidia adapting its product offerings strategically.
Nvidia's move reflects the growing tension between U.S. trade policy and global tech demand, with the company working to comply with regulations while maintaining its market position.
