Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ: NVDA) has reportedly delayed an AI chip that it specifically designed for China. Its shares opened slightly down on Friday.
Why did Nvidia delay its H20 chip today?
Customers will now have to wait for H20 – the artificial intelligence chip that Nvidia recently announced to adhere to the U.S. export restrictions until the first quarter of 2024.
The product is being delayed because server manufacturers are struggling with “integrating the chip”, as per sources who talked to Reuters today on the condition of anonymity.
The news arrives only days after Nvidia said its revenue tripled in its fiscal Q3. The California-based company did, however, warn of a hit to sales in its current quarter due to restrictions on export of AI chips to China as Invezz reported here .

AI is a high growth market. In terms of visibility, next couple of quarters, I think they simply have the demand there with or without China.
