Nvidia to release three new AI chips for China after US restrictions – report

Nvidia is planning to release three new chips for China, according to local media reports, weeks after the US blocked it from selling two high-end artificial intelligence (AI) chips and one of its top gaming chips to Chinese firms. Nvidia declined to comment when asked about the report. Last month, the US AI chip giant said new export restrictions announced by Washington would block it from selling two of its modified advanced AI chips - the A800 and H800 - both of which were created for the Chinese market last year to comply with previous export rules. One of the company's top-of-the-line gaming chips, the L40S chip, which it announced in August, would also be affected, it said. On 24 October, Nvidia said those curbs would take immediate effect, as US regulators had sped up an original deadline.
