Nvidia's new RTX6000D chip, designed for the Chinese market, has experienced low demand from major tech firms due to its high cost and underwhelming performance compared to alternatives on the grey market. The chip's launch comes amid increasing scrutiny from Chinese authorities and ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions.
Nvidia is working on a version of its latest AI chip, Blackwell, tailored specifically for the Chinese market after facing U.S. export restrictions. The company anticipates having samples available by June, as it aims to navigate the limitations imposed on its sales to China, a crucial market for its technology.
