NVIDIA has resumed sales of its AI chip H20 in China, prioritizing this year's targets. TSMC's production capacity could be a bottleneck. NVIDIA will also launch the Blackwell platform RTX PRO 6000 to address diverse application needs.
Key Highlights:
- NVIDIA resumes H20 AI chip sales to the Chinese market, aiming to meet this year's sales goals.
- Currently, no significant additional orders; upstream supply chain like TSMC's full capacity could be a bottleneck.
- Chinese end customers anticipate the next-gen Blackwell platform RTX PRO 6000.
- Upstream capacity expansion and actual demand changes need monitoring.
- TSMC might use other production lines to handle urgent orders but must assess cost-effectiveness.
- NVIDIA's existing product stock and TSMC's semi-finished inventory will be the supply mainstay upon H20's restart.
