Domestic 7nm GPU chips were released, challenging the hegemony of NVIDIA in the United States.
When the United States increased its chip supply to China, China's chips were not idle, and recently launched the 7 nm process to occupy the domestic market and further suppress their American counterparts.
It is understood that domestic GPU manufacturers have begun to sell the graphics processors of the previous year, and their prices are more than 500 pieces lower than the graphics processors of AMD and NVIDIA at the same level, but they are comparable to high-end graphics processors in terms of performance.
The floating-point number of this card is a bit better than AMD's RTX3060 graphics card. The launch of this graphics processor caused a great sensation in China, and once it was launched, it was quickly acquired by foreign evaluation agencies, and some foreign evaluation agencies tested it and came up with 13With 9 tflops of measured data, this processor does outperform the RTX3060.
The domestic graphics processor uses its own 7nm graphics processor, to be able to do this, it is already a very remarkable achievement, you must know that Intel in the United States, although it has long been studied, but it has never been able to catch up with the footsteps of NVIDIA.
Nvidia's GPU chip managers were taken aback, so Nvidia banned its advanced graphics processor in China when Nvidia released its own graphics processor so quickly, because although A800 is a relatively low-end graphics processor, but when used to make mid-range and high-end GPUs, its performance must be higher than other processors!It is also more powerful than domestic graphics processors.
Now, the United States is trying to curb the export of CPU and GPU chips from American chips to China, which is a "double-edged sword" for American chips. At present, the situation of American chips is not optimistic. Analysts expect Intel and Nvidia's revenues to fall by 40% and 22% in the first quarter of this year. The United States** will impose tighter controls on their chip sales, which will only make them more miserable.
In fact, China is trying to replace imports with localization, and in the first two months of this year, China's integrated circuit imports fell by 26 percent compared to the same period last year5%, a decrease of 15% compared to 2022, and in the field of GPU chips, domestic GPU chips have also caught up with the level of NVIDIA's mid-to-high-end level, which can completely replace most of NVIDIA's chips
At present, most of the high-performance GPU chips are used in the field of artificial intelligence, and the US ban on Nvidia's high-end GPU chips exported to China has caused a temporary hindrance to the development of China's AI industry, but for domestic GPU chip manufacturers, it is not impossible for them to improve their overall strength by adding GPUs and multiple GPU chips, thereby creating opportunities for domestic GPU manufacturers.
Nvidia's GPU chips are currently the most popular AI chips, and the U.S. policy will allow domestic GPU chips to get more profits, thereby accelerating development, narrowing the technological gap between U.S. GPU manufacturers, and catching up with U.S. GPU chip manufacturers, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the United States.
As mentioned above, the chip in the United States showed a faster decline trend in the first quarter, and the integration of China and the United States will make the chip industry in the United States worse, which will lead to a reduction in the investment of AMD and Nvidia in GPU chips, thereby reducing the competitiveness of the semiconductor industry in the United States, which will be a long-term and profound disaster, which will be a disaster.
