Nvidia preparing version of new flaghip AI chip for Chinese market

Nvidia is working on a version of its new flagship AI chips for the China market that would be compatible with current U.S. export controls, three sources familiar with the matter said.

The AI chip giant in March unveiled its “Blackwell” chip series, which is due to be mass produced later in the year. Within that series, the B200 is 30 times speedier than its predecessor at some tasks like serving up answers from chatbots.
