Looks like China won't be getting Nvidia's super-powered GPU any time soon.
On Wednesday, US officials ordered Nvidia to halt sales of two of its chips to China. This means that Nvidia won't be allowed to sell its A100 andthat US officials claim this new rule"will address the risk that products may be used in, or diverted to, a 'military end use' or 'military end user' in China.
"We are working with our customers in China to satisfy their planned or future purchases with alternative products and may seek licenses where replacements aren’t sufficient," an Nvidia representative told me."The only current products that the new licensing requirement applies to are A100, H100, and systems such as DGX that include them."
Outside of the order, the US Department of Commerce has not explained what prompted the decision, outside of keeping"advanced technologies out of the wrong hands."
