Taipei, Jan. 29 (CNA) Nvidia Corp. is still waiting for the Chinese government to decide whether to allow imports of its H200 AI chips and has not yet received any orders from customers in China, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) said on Thursday.
Huang noted that while the United States has cleared the H200 for sale to China, the decision ultimately rests with China.
H200 pending in ChinaHuang reiterated his endorsement of the U.S. decision to authorize H200 sales, arguing it is illogical for the Chinese military to rely on American silicon, just as the U.S. would never depend on Chinese chips for its own defense.
Citing anonymous sources, Reuters reported Wednesday that Beijing has authorized ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent to purchase a combined total of over 400,000 H200 chips, with a second wave of companies already applying for approval.
