Nvidia, a US chip manufacturer Nvidia (November 7), confirmed that the company will launch a new high -end chip in China. This chip is in linecontrol.
According to Reuters, this graphics card (GPU) called A800 will be put into production in the third quarter and exported to the Chinese market to replace the ABe -100 chip that is banned from being exported to China by the United States.Nvidia said in a statement that the A800 graphics card is in line with the US export control, and there is no way to upgrade this graphics card through a program compilation.
After the United States expanded the export control of Chinese chips and chip equipment earlier in the United States, Nvidia's A100 high -end graphics card and the upcoming H100 graphics card were prohibited from exporting to China.Nvidia said in a regulatory document in August this year that the United States is worried that these chips may be used by the Chinese military.
Nvidia said that as of October this year, the new export control introduced by the United States will affect the sales of Nvidia about 400 million US dollars (S $ 561 million) in China, and the above plan can help reduce the new control beltCome to the financial blow.
Nvidia refused to disclose whether the arrangement had been consulted with the US Department of Commerce, and a spokesman for the US Department of Commerce also refused to comment.
It is reported that a distributor website in China has introduced the specifications of the A800 graphics card and its performance comparison with the performance of the A100 graphics card.The data transmission rate between the A800 chips is 400 gigabit bytes per second, and the 600 Gigabit bytes are lower than the A100.The new regulations issued by the United States are restricted to China export to China with a graphics card with a rate of 600 Gigabit bytes and above.
