Nvidia plans to release three new chips for China
Nvidia plans to unveil new artificial intelligence chips specifically designed for the Chinese market, a development occurring shortly after tightened US regulations on high-end AI chip exports to China. The forthcoming chips, identified as the HGX H20, L20 PCIe, and L2 PCIe, may be officially announced as early as November 16, according to the chip industry newsletter SemiAnalysis.
