Nvidia's AI chip sales in China hampered by U.S. sanctions, but gaming GPU shipments increase

Nvidia China Huawei
Nvidia Hopper H100 die shot.

Per an exclusive report from Reuters, Nvidia has lost the #1 spot in the Chinese AI chip market following the release of the sanctions-legal Nvidia H20, which slightly underperforms compared to the China-made Huawei Ascend 910B. Reportedly, the Huawei Ascend 910B is roughly 10% faster in AI workloads than Nvidia's top-end, sanctions-legal H20.

These performance issues, combined with Nvidia's abundant supply and sanctions restrictions, have forced it to cut H20 prices by "over 10 percent" in the Chinese market. One of the companies noted in the original story that still supports Nvidia in China is the online marketplace Alibaba, which ordered over 30,000 Nvidia H20 chips. Distributors are selling the H20 at roughly 100,000 yuan, compared to the Huawei 910B, which can exceed 120,000 yuan per card.
