NVIDIA’s Budget AI Chip for China

What's the story:

NVIDIA is launching a cheaper AI chip for China priced at $6,500-$8,000, down from $10K-$12K, after US export restrictions hurt sales.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Lower Cost: New Blackwell-based chip is 35% cheaper than the restricted H20 model.

  • Simpler Design: Uses GDDR7 memory (not high-end) and skips advanced TSMC packaging.

  • Market Struggle: NVIDIA’s China share dropped from 95% to 50% due to US bans; Huawei is now a top rival.

  • Big Losses: NVIDIA wrote off $5.5B in inventory and lost $15B in sales from the H20 ban.

  • Speed Limits: US rules cap memory bandwidth at 1.7TB/s (vs. H20’s 4TB/s), slowing AI performance.

Why It’s Important:

This move shows how US-China tech tensions are reshaping the AI chip market, forcing NVIDIA to adapt—or lose ground to rivals like Huawei.
