NVIDIA seems to be working on an AI chip designed to meet stringent export controls set by the US government, as it looks to expand its market share in China.
NVIDIA is currently working on a version of its most powerful Blackwell-based AI chip that will meet the export control requirements set by the US government, according to a report in Reuters. The company will be working with one of its Chinese partners to make this happen, and is currently referring to this potential new product as the “B20.” The B20 is expected to begin shipping in 2025.
It has been difficult for NVIDIA to fully capitalize on the current AI wave while having to deal with ever strengthening US export controls aimed at slowing down Chinese development of AI.
