It is intended to handle a wider range of AI inference work, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">The push comes as Beijing pressures Chinese tech companies, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to reduce reliance on Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chip. The H20 is the most powerful AI processor Washington still allows to be sold in China, but sales were effectively halted earlier this year before a partial resumption last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Alibaba, which runs China&#8217;s largest cloud computing business and is a major Nvidia customer, reported this week that its cloud revenue jumped 26% in the June quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
