Each H20 chip would be priced between US$ 12,000 and 13,000, which would give potential sales of up to US$ 12,000 million, this is almost double what the Chinese Huawei hopes to earn with its Ascend 910B processor.

The American microchip manufacturer Nvidia could bill US$12 billion this year from the sale of microchips in China despite the restrictions on trade in high-tech processors decreed by the United States, as reported this Thursday by the Financial Times citing data from the consulting firm SemiAnalysis.

Each H20 chip would have a price of between US$12,000 and 13,000, which would give potential sales of up to US$12,000 million, this is almost double what the Chinese Huawei hopes to earn with its Ascend 910B processor.

In addition, this figure would exceed the $ 10.3 billion in revenue in China that Nvidia recorded in the financial year that ended in January 2024, which includes the sale of graphics chips for PCs and other products.

The H20 chips produced by Nvidia meet the manufacturing standards imposed by Washington in order to circumvent export controls to the Asian 'giant' amid concerns that the most advanced microchips will end up in the hands of the Chinese Army.

The resulting shortage of AI chips has hampered the ability of Chinese tech groups such as ByteDance (TikTok), Tencent and Alibaba to compete with US rivals OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta and Google.
