China is considering allowing some domestic technology companies, including ByteDance and Alibaba, to purchase a new Nvidia chip designed for high-end professional computers, according to a report by The Information.
The report, citing two people familiar with the matter, said China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had informed some Chinese companies that the government intends to approve the purchases.
The potential approval could allow selected Chinese firms to obtain Nvidia’s latest chips for advanced computing applications, amid ongoing restrictions and tensions surrounding the export of advanced semiconductor technology to China.
