US Deals Heavy Blow to China Tech Ambitions With Nvidia Chip Ban

Is this also fabbed by Chinese company in China?

I said, 100% made in China. The 12nm chip is from Shanghai SMIC, designed and sold by Moore group, and manufactured by BYD.

It's competitive vs ampere based a100, but the article did state this:

BR100 vs A100​

In comparison to last-gen’s Ampere based A100, the BR100 is around 2.6x faster in select benchmarks. This puts to show how quick China is accelerating in the GPU department. However, sorry for being a killjoy but the Hopper based H100 is around 2-3x faster in the same benchmarks. Those Tensor cores can boost this lead to around 30x in various tests.

Hopper based GH100 chips were launched in the h100 GPUs back in march of this year, the biren chip winning the 'highest awards during this year's World Artificial Intelligence Conference' is odd when the benchmarking was made against last gen Nvidia ampere chips.

BR100 is also based on 'TSMC’s 2.5D CoWoS 7nm design'. Given the likely AI applications for these chips, US export bans on TSMC supplying these chips to Birentech and other chinese semi-con manufacturers is only a matter of time.

4nm nvidia h100 is still on paper and need chinese r&d team to help develop it. the ban is gonna backfire.

Nvidia says U.S. government allows A.I. chip development in China

Nvidia said Thursday that the U.S. government told it that it can continue to develop its H100 artificial intelligence chip in China.

Most of the researches related to AI in USA is the hardworkship of asians. This could backfire as in nvidia and amd chinese scientists have great role.

Does it means no graphic cards for gamers in China?

This means less income for NVidia.

Can't wait for better China GPU to disrupt the Nvidia/AMD duopoly!

There is no ban on Intel's Movidius AI module or card?
