The post NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Halts Hopper Chip Launch in China – Coincu appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Key Points: NVIDIA halts Hopper series chips in China due to export limits. NVIDIA’s China revenue at risk amid policy challenges. Huawei and local AI chip firms eye market share. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced the cessation of Hopper chip launches in China due to U.S. government export restrictions on May 18. He confirmed that future products won’t adapt Hopper architecture for China’s AI market. This strategic shift underscores a critical phase for NVIDIA, given that China represents 13% of its $17 billion annual revenue. NVIDIA’s Strategy Shift Following U.S. Export Restrictions NVIDIA’s decisive stop of further Hopper chip releases in China follows U.S. regulatory measures restricting advanced chip exports. CEO Jensen Huang stated, “It will not be Hopper because Hopper can no longer be adjusted.” This decision affects NVIDIA’s strategy in a challenging regulatory environment. Immediate implications include NVIDIA redirecting its technology development efforts and potentially designing a new chip series not based on the Hopper line. The revision could align with the regulatory landscape but raises uncertainty about market access. Industry participants like Huawei are expected to gain from this hiatus, expanding their market position. Huang has expressed a critical view of such export controls stating that American technology should be globally adopted rather than restricted. U.S. Export Controls and the Future of AI Hardware Did you know? Previous U.S. export restrictions led NVIDIA to create the H800 chip specifically for China, reflecting ongoing challenges in balancing compliance and market requirements.
