Nvidia Reportedly Prepares Mass Production Of Cheaper\u00a0China-Centric Blackwell AI Chip<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Nvidia’s market share in China has cratered from 95% to 50% over the past four years, driven by the Biden administration’s super-aggressive chip export restrictions. The restrictions\u00a0opened the door for Chinese rival Huawei to seize market share quickly with its\u00a0Ascend 910B chip.<\/p>\n

According to Reuters<\/a>, Nvidia is preparing to launch a new lower-spec AI chip based on a Blackwell architecture design to comply with U.S. regulations and reclaim lost market share in the world’s second-largest economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those sources say\u00a0Nvidia’s new chip will be priced\u00a0significantly lower than its recently restricted H20 chip.\u00a0Those familiar with the production timeline say series production is set for next month.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The new chip, expected to begin mass production in June, stays within Washington’s 1.7\u20131.8 TB\/s memory bandwidth cap using\u00a0GDDR7 memory, compared to the H20’s 4 TB\/s. The sources say a\u00a0second China-specific Blackwell GPU will be released around\u00a0September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sources provided more color on\u00a0pricing and chip specs:<\/p>\n

The GPU or graphics processing unit will be part of Nvidia’s latest generation Blackwell-architecture AI processors and is expected to be priced between $6,500 and $8,000, well below the $10,000-$12,000 the H20 sold for, according to two of the sources.<\/em><\/p>\n

It will be based on Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D, a server-class graphics processor and will use conventional GDDR7 memory instead of more advanced high bandwidth memory, the two sources said.<\/em><\/p>\n

They added it would not use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, opens new tab advanced Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate (CoWoS) packaging technology.<\/em><\/p>\n

In recent weeks,\u00a0Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang secured multi-billion-dollar AI chip deals<\/a> in Saudi Arabia after President Trump rolled back chip restrictions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The clear takeaway:<\/strong> Nvidia aims to reclaim lost market share in China’s $50 billion AI chip sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
