Nvidia said it won’t be sending graphics processing unit plans to China following a report that the artificial intelligence chipmaker is working on a research and development center in Shanghai in light of recent U.S. export curbs.

“We are not sending any GPU designs to China to be modified to comply with export controls,” a spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC.




A source familiar with the matter told CNBC that the company is leasing new space for current employees, but is not sending any IP or GPU designs there. The source said this is a continuation of the company’s longstanding presence in China.

The Financial Times was the first to report the news, citing two sources familiar with the matter. CEO Jensen Huang discussed the potential new center with Shanghai’s mayor, Gong Zheng, during a visit last month, the FT reported.

The center will assess ways to meet U.S. restrictions while catering to the local market, although production and design will continue outside China, according to the report.

Damn. You can tell that 2020 was a major inflection point. Even the Nvidia CEO knows that they cant decouple from China. Which makes you wonder why Washington is still pushing the decouple angle.

Jack Ma thought he was bigger than the system too. Are we gonna see the U.S. version of that?
nikka huh? lmfao, America is where billionaires live like medieval kings. The only time the American government (which is a proxy for other Amerian billionaires) would reprimand a billionaire is if he/she suddenly decided to go against wallstreet since that's who runs America. America as a country is financialized to the gills. We're just one large stock market. Most of our GDP comes from rent seeking schemes and financializing EVERYTHING. Jack Ma got reprimanded by the CCP because he embodies everything China wants to avoid: financialization, foreign billlionaires overpowering the CCP by way of Chinese billionaires like Jack Ma, and Jack Ma being used as a proxy for wallstreet . Once Xi saw Jack Ma head to Israel for the billionaire ritual he knew he had to teach him a lesson:

The whole C-Suite and the board of Nvidia should be tried for treason. They know exactly why both Biden and Trump have chip export restrictions on China and have stopped collaboration on this technology with them. :camby:


This is the equivalent of The fusion bomb being invented in The '50s , and Raytheon opening a nuclear bomb research facility in the USSR.
Uhhh.... Jensen Huang idk where you been but Jensen Huang is playing the whole "I'm a patriot" angle because he knows that he COULD get targeted by China Hawks in the US gov. This was 4 days ago:



Dude literally called himself a "patriot" a couple days ago too :dead:

All the best AI developers are all Asian even in America. I hope y’all are aware of this.
It's actually insane how much black people are missing from chip design jobs. Ironically enough, for the few black folks who got into tech via DEI most were just in IT, cybersecurity, HR or testing/QA. Very rarely were we let into design or core product development roles, thats by design. I brought this up because AI developers = CUDA and hardware design more often than not.
