The park has been weighing the use of Chinese GPUs since it first began installing Nvidia chips last year, he said.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">\u201cAt that time, China-US relations were already quite strained, so relying solely on [Nvidia] was no longer an option,\u201d Cheng said. \u201cThat is why we felt that for any new procurement, we should in any case include some from the mainland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Cyberport\u2019s AI supercomputing centre, established in December with its first phase offering 1,300 petaflops of computing power, will deliver another 1,700 petaflops by the end of this year, with all 3,000 petaflops currently relying on Nvidia\u2019s H800 chips, he added.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Cyberport CEO Rocky Cheng Chung-ngam on September 12, 2025.
