Nvidia has confirmed that she is evaluating «a variety of products» to compete with China, which has put sticks to its wheels by prioritizing the use of national product against foreigners, a situation that would have harmed the creator of the H20 chip.
The last months have not been especially good for the company presided by Jensen Huang. Especially, since the US president, Donald Trump, decided to veto the exports of his star processor, the H20, in an attempt to demonstrate that China would not be able to be up to it.
Shortly to prohibit the entry of these chips to China (actually, only a few months later), the Republican president decided to revoke his decision and give Nvidia green so that he could import his star product in the Asian country.
What I did not expect was that the country led by Xi Jinping would be so reticent to this change of posture, to the point that Nvidia accused of using their chips to spy on users, which is known as safety switches and rear doors.
Nvidia reinvents herself to China
Nvidia is exploring other possible options not to be left behind in China and, given the suspicions that has raised the return of the H20 to the territory, he has chosen to think about the future, evaluating several products with which to get to work.
«We evaluate various products for our roadmapso that we can be prepared to compete to the extent that governments allow it, «the company explained in a statement sent to CNBC.
«Everything we offer has the full approval of the competent authorities and is designed exclusively for beneficial commercial use,» the firm added, without specifying what are the products that are in development.
In relation to this, from Reuters They have pointed out that among the objectives of the technological is the provisionally known chip as B30A, which is based on the architecture of the Blackwell Chip of the firm, according to sources close to this news agency.
This processor, in addition, will have high bandwidth memory and will feature the NVLink technology of NVIDIA for rapid data transmission between processors, characteristics that are already present in the H20, which, should be remembered, is based on Nvidia Hopper architecture.
While the total specifications of the new chip are unknown, from Reuters They point out that Nvidia waits deliver samples to Chinese clients for analysis next month, so that they can test this product in their systems before its official launch.
Under Trump’s orders
Nvidia is looking for the solution to a problem that almost leads to the border of bankruptcy, looking sideways and very closely the decisions Trump makes and make everything change from one day to another. This, meanwhile, does not waste time to demand complicated conditions for the technological.
So much so that the American president indicated last week that, initially, he had requested a 20% cut of Nvidia sales. Huang, on the other hand, negotiated a reduction in that percentage, up to 15%.
Then, the president dropped that he would be willing to sell a very small version of the commented chip with Blackwell architecture. «It is possible that I reach an agreement» For a Blackwell processor «something improved, even in a negative sense,» he said, also suggesting that «he would discount him between 30 and 50%.»
