Jensen Huang, head of Nvidia, has convicted US export controls to limit China's access to artificial intelligence chips as a “failure” by which the Chinese competitors speed up the event of their very own products.
In strongly formulated criticisms of the chip policy pursued by successive US administrations, the managing director of the world's leading AI chipmaker also criticized Washington's decision to ban an NVIDIA chip that was specially designed for the Chinese market.
On Wednesday, he told a press conference on the Computerex -Tech -Show in Taipei that the export controls are the Chinese rivals with turbocharger, led by the Tech giant Huawei to create competitive AI hardware.
“Four years ago, Nvidia had a market share of 95 percent in China. Today it is simply 50 percent,” he said. “The rest is Chinese technology. You have a variety of local technology that you just would use when you had no Nvidia.”
Huang added: “Chinese AI researchers will use their very own chips. They will use the second best. Local firms are very determined and export controls have accelerated their development and support from the federal government. Our competition is intense in China.”
The Trump Administration prohibited Nvidia in April to sell the H20, whose diluted AI chip had an impact on the previous export controls, which was turned to an organization of $ 5.5 billion. Huang confirmed that Nvidia had no current plans to trigger one other “hopper” chip for the Chinese market, and said the corporate had already worsened the chip a lot.
