NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang Draws a Hard Line on China: No Blackwell, No Rubin, But US Firms Must Still Fight In Global Markets

Technik und Auswirkungen

Jensen Huang (NVIDIA CEO): We should compete globally. America should always have Head Start. Becky Quick (Anchor "Squawk Box"): Should they have the latest and greatest chips? Jensen Huang (NVIDIA CEO): No.

We have the right, the United States, we're an American company, the United States has the right to make sure that, and we're delighted, and we're huge supporters of it, that the United States has the first, the most, and the best. But simultaneously, all American companies should compete globally.

Because remember, in the final analysis, we're trying to maximize exports. We're trying to maximize American exports. We're trying to increase our revenues. And, tax revenues, we improve our national security. And economic security contributes to national security. Tax dollars helps us with defense. All of that increases national security.

American technology has to win across the world at every single layer. During the "Leading in the Age of AI" talks at the Miliken Institute's Global conference, Jesnen also pointed out that while the latest chips are built for the US soil first, US firms should compete globally.

While the United States gets "the first, the most, and the best" of advancements from American firms, the companies should also be open to competing globally, as that helps increase revenues, which in turn helps improve the United States' National Security.

This statement comes just a few weeks after NVIDIA's CEO announced that they have zero share in China. We recently reported how NVIDIA's "official" share in China has dropped to nothing as China itself is focusing on in-house solutions, and companies such as Huawei are now gaining big time for their growing AI demand.

Jensen also confirmed that they have not shipped a single unit of their Hopper H200 GPUs to China. That is despite NVIDIA being given the go-ahead to sell H200 chips to China after paying a 25% of the sales to the US Government. The President of the US, Donald J.

Trump, has already stated that NVIDIA's "SUPER DUPER" Blackwell GPUs are the most advanced AI chips designed, and there might be a chance that a cut-down variant of the chip, with severely reduced capabilities, can be offered to China, though those plans haven't seen any progress.
