Nvidia says H200 demand in China is 'very high' as export licenses near completion — a month after the green light, Huang has high hopes for China buy-in despite political sensitivity

Nvidia says H200 demand in China is 'very high' as export licenses near completion — a month after the green light, Huang has high hopes for China buy-in despite political sensitivity

Nvidia reports high demand in China for its H200 data center GPU, with CEO Jensen Huang expressing optimism despite ongoing U.S. export licensing processes. The company is cautious about setting timelines or volume targets until regulatory details are finalized. The political sensitivity around advanced AI hardware exports to China, subject to a 25% tax and government review, adds complexity. Nvidia aims to resume shipments before mid-February, focusing on market uptake through normal commercial channels rather than major announcements. The H200, based on Nvidia's Hopper architecture, remains attractive for AI workloads despite challenges in the Chinese market.

CEO Jensen Huang says Nvidia could potentially resurrect old GPUs to address shortages and high pricing — adding performance-boosting advanced AI features to older architectures is also on the table

CEO Jensen Huang says Nvidia could potentially resurrect old GPUs to address shortages and high pricing — adding performance-boosting advanced AI features to older architectures is also on the table

Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang discussed potential solutions to the ongoing GPU shortages and high pricing at CES 2026, mentioning the possibility of reviving older GPUs with advanced AI features. Huang hinted at the option of bringing AI technology to previous generation GPUs, though no concrete plans were revealed. While Nvidia's focus at CES was on AI computing rather than new consumer GPU hardware, the company is considering various strategies to address the challenges in the gaming GPU market. The potential resurrection of older GPUs and the integration of AI-driven features could offer temporary relief to consumers until supply issues are resolved.

For the first time in 5 years, Nvidia will not announce any new GPUs at CES — company quashes RTX 50 Super rumors as AI expected to take center stage

For the first time in 5 years, Nvidia will not announce any new GPUs at CES — company quashes RTX 50 Super rumors as AI expected to take center stage

Nvidia breaks a 5-year tradition by not announcing new GPUs at CES 2026, focusing instead on AI advancements due to component shortages. Rumors of an RTX 50 Super series launch were quashed, possibly due to DRAM shortages affecting production. The industry-wide component drought, particularly in DRAM, is hindering new GPU releases, with only a few companies capable of manufacturing cutting-edge DRAM. The situation is complex, involving geopolitics and the AI arms race, leading to uncertainties about future GPU availability and pricing.

Nvidia reportedly wins H200 exports to China — US Department of Commerce set to ease restrictions for full Hopper AI GPU

Nvidia reportedly wins H200 exports to China — US Department of Commerce set to ease restrictions for full Hopper AI GPU

The U.S. Department of Commerce is poised to allow Nvidia to export its H200 AI GPUs to China, potentially boosting Nvidia's market presence and reinforcing its CUDA software dominance. This move could significantly impact the AI hardware landscape, with the H200 offering advanced performance capabilities. While China's approval is not guaranteed, the H200's arrival could accelerate China's AI development. The decision reflects a shift in U.S. policy towards Chinese AI leaders and aims to maintain competitiveness in the global AI market. China's response may be influenced by its focus on domestic semiconductor self-sufficiency and potential concerns about reliance on U.S. technology.
