Nvidia on Thursday pushed back on a report that it was preparing a China-specific LPU for shipment by year-end, saying the company has no such product planned or currently sold in the market.
The company rejected a report that it could begin small-batch shipments by year-end. The reported chip would use technology licensed from Groq to accelerate AI inference alongside GPUs.
Nvidia faces a long road back in China’s AI market
Nvidia faces a much tougher position in China after US export controls and licensing requirements sharply reduced access to the country’s fast-growing AI-chip market.
China once represented at least one-fifth of Nvidia’s data-center revenue, but the restrictions have strengthened Huawei and other domestic suppliers. Huang said in May that Nvidia had “largely conceded” the Chinese AI-chip market to Huawei.
