📣 Nvidia's Latest AI Chip Heads to China
posted 1 Feb 2024
Nvidia is now taking pre-orders from Chinese distributors for its latest artificial intelligence chip, crafted to adhere to the stringent U.S. sanctions. The new H20 graphics card is priced between $12,000 and $15,000, yet the retail cost in China begins at $15,300.
While the H20 doesn't quite reach the performance of Huawei's Ascend 910B, it offers several key benefits. Distributors in China are retailing their local Huawei model at a minimum of $16,600, positioning Nvidia's H20 as a more cost-effective alternative. The first batch of H20 chips is slated for delivery by the end of Q1 2024.
