Large hyperscalers are also intensifying their custom silicon programs. Baidu's Kunlunxin unit plans to introduce five AI processors by 2030, and Alibaba is also not giving up on its own silicon efforts. Yet, to a large degree, China's AI industry is limited by SMIC's ability to produce chips on its 7nm-class process technologies in sizable quantities. If the company cannot increase its output substantially in the coming years, then either China's AI sector will fall behind America's dramatically, or it will find a way to obtain high-performance GPUs from Nvidia to keep up.

hotaru251 lucky china getting free of nvidia & nvidia gonna suffer loss profit in a major consumer market….its a win-win unless you are nvidia. Reply
Mindstab Thrull My hope is that the success of Chinese-grown chips will force companies like Nvidia to rethink their products and their pricing so that consumers worldwide can get better stuff less expensive. Do I expect it? No but I can certainly hope. Reply

Pierce2623 But Chinese companies just placed orders for literally 2M H200 specifically so they can avoid the Chinese parts. Deepseek couldn’t get their new model trained properly on Huawei hardware that uses over twice the power and twice the floor space. Considering Huawei’s ecosystem is miles ahead any other Chinese companies, all they can realistically provide currently is inference power. They still need Nvidia to actually advance their models though. Reply

The chicoms are paper tigers in tech and the military. Plus the corruption is as rampant as the Russians. We see where the Russians are at now. Reply
