Nvidia's China Chip Challenge: No More Hopper?

So, guess what? Nvidia is figuring out what to do about selling stuff in China now that the US government put limits on their Hopper H20 chip there. But the big boss, Jensen Huang, said they won't make another version from the Hopper family. Someone asked what their next chip for China would be after the H20, and he was like, "It's not Hopper 'cause you just can't change Hopper anymore." Yeah, that's what he said, according to a video stream I saw from some TV news channel in Taiwan.

Jensen has always said that China is super important for Nvidia to grow, right? He even went to China right after the US piled on new rules about shipping their H20 chips over there. See, the H20 is, like, the only AI chip they can actually sell legally in China. Oh, and I heard that Nvidia is thinking of dropping a less powerful version of the H20 for China real soon, maybe in the next couple of months. They're trying to keep selling things there, you know? 'Cause they've lost some ground to local companies like Huawei.

The US had this plan back in January, just a week before the old president left, that was supposed to limit sending AI chips to most countries. Jensen also said that those old rules about shipping AI stuff were kinda wrong. He thinks they should have focused on getting US technology out there everywhere instead. And get this, Trump has apparently said he's gonna get rid of those AI rules that the last guy put in. China actually brought in a good chunk of money for Nvidia last year, like 17 billion bucks. That was about 13% of all their sales. Wild, right?
