Sources Say Chinese Firms Still Want Nvidia Chips

Meanwhile, they face government pressure not to buy them

Alibaba, ByteDance and other Chinese tech firms remain keen on Nvidia's artificial intelligence chips despite regulators in Beijing strongly discouraging them from such purchases, four people with knowledge of procurement discussions said.

They want reassurance that their orders of Nvidia's H20 model, which the U.S. firm in July regained permission to sell in China, are being processed, and are closely monitoring Nvidia's plans for a more powerful chip, tentatively named the B30A and which is based on its Blackwell architecture, two of the people said.

The B30A - if approved for sale by Washington - is likely to cost about double the H20, which currently sells for between $10,000 and $12,000, those two people said.
