Nvidia launched an exclusive version of H20 that is lower than Huawei's Ascend, priced at 110,000!
According to foreign reports, Nvidia has been offering a new artificial intelligence processor H20 GPU to Chinese dealers in the past few weeks, with each model between $12,000 and $15,000, which is a little cheaper than Huawei's Rising 910 B.
In addition, according to Taiwan ** reports, Nvidia's flagship RTX 4090 has set off a rush to buy in Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, and South Korea, and the price is 60% higher than more than a year ago, because the price in Chinese mainland can be tripled.
Among these GPUs, the H20 is the most powerful of the three GPUs developed by Nvidia for China, but its computing performance is slightly smaller than its flagship AI processors, the H100 and H800, after the United States increased import restrictions on China's high-end products in October. The RTX 4090 is very popular for game graphics and AI modeling.
1. The single sheet** is about 110,000, which is slightly lower than the rise of 910 b.
The company said it has informed consumers that it will produce a small amount of H20 in the first quarter of this year and achieve mass production in the second quarter. Some dealers are already playing higher, which has risen to about 110,000 yuan. In stark contrast, the ** of the Rising 910 B is around $120,000.
It is reported that this H20 is an H20 pre-installed with 8 artificial intelligence chips, ** up to 1.4 million. In stark contrast, a year ago, a server with eight H800 processors** was $2 million.
Technically, the H20 is not as good as Huawei's Feiteng 910B in some important aspects, for example, its FP32 processor is less than half that of the 910B. However, in terms of cross-chip data transfer, the H20 is better than the Rising 910B, which means that if multiple chips are put into a unified system, the H20 can still be comparable to the Rising 910B.
Foreign ** reported last month that Nvidia will start H20 mass production in the second quarter of next year. Due to the difficulties faced by server manufacturers in integrating chips, the launch of chips originally scheduled for November has been delayed.
In addition, Nvidia will also offer two other products for the Chinese market, the L20 and L2, which are currently unclear. Nvidia's official ** does not have these three products.
2. The RTX 4090 graphics card has been cleared in many parts of Asia and sold to China, Hong Kong or mainland China at 3 times the price.
Since the enactment of a new restriction in the United States, the RTX 4090 has become a popular item in the Asian market because it is cheaper, has better performance, and is generally available at DIY computer stores or retail stores.
Taiwan** quoted news from Taipei's Guanghua Shopping Center that if you want to use these graphics cards in Hong Kong or other mainland cities**, the price may be 3 times that of Taipei. Both Taiwanese power strip practitioners and Singaporean computer parts vendors have confirmed that the RTX 4090 is indeed in short supply.
More than a year ago, the RTX 4090 was priced at $1,599 (about NT$49,000, 12,000 yuan), and since October last year, it has risen to $2,541 (about 7.).NT$90,000, RMB 180,000 yuan).
In the retail stores of Guanghua Shopping Center, because to buy RTX 4090, you need to buy a full set of hardware, but some people buy more than 20 units at a time, just to disassemble the chips and then **. The RTX 4090 processor costs $4,500 (NT$140,000), which is also a sold-out.
Conclusion: The Chinese market will pay more attention to the sales of H20.
At present, the high-end graphics card of RTX 4090 is already in demand, and whether China's H20 GPU can gain more recognition after its launch will also be directly related to next year's Nvidia's financial report and the prospects of China's AI chip industry.
Before the U.S. ban was introduced, Nvidia accounted for more than 90% of the market for AI chips in China. However, the company has also received more and more attention from its domestic counterparts.
The RTX 4090 is selling well in Asia, while the H20 is starting to be pre-ordered, underscoring the U.S.'s desire to curb sales of its advanced chips to China and slow China's progress in advanced artificial intelligence.
