That’s why Intel found a way to continue selling its chips to China despite the US-issued veto banning it.
Intel will continue to export to China
The chips whose export was prohibited were those oriented towards artificial intelligence, however, a new type manufactured by Intel manages to circumvent the laws that prevent its marketing in the Asian country. These were presented yesterday at a press conference in the capital, Beijing, announcing that they would reach its borders without any problem.
As they well commented, their intention is to create a unique Habana Gaudi 2 for them, circumvent the barriers that prevent its marketing in this place. In this way, they will be able to continue distributing them and generating a profit for both parties.
We do not know if they will have a limitation in their characteristics or how they can make them, what we can be clear is that they know full well that what they think is legal and functional.
It’s a stick for NVIDIA because if they get it all right they could take over the Chinese market which would be a very big stick for their rival and a knock on the table that could further separate them in the competition for be the highest grade. However, if Intel’s idea works, NVIDIA will copy them soon and create a similar model to continue exporting as well.
We’ll have to see what the US says about it, and if he brings out another law to further toughen the current one that prevents the commercialization of AI chips in China. If so, I wouldn’t find it unreasonable for those companies to leave America in search of more flexible options, because if so, another European brand might come and take the best market in the world, which none of them would be happy. .the current ones
During the presentation of Gaudí 2 in China, Chen Baoli, who is the vice president of Intel’s data center and artificial intelligence group, as well as the general manager of the Asian country, pointed out that Intel has also focused on improving iterative processing capability at the software level. to meet the growing demand for extensive language models (LLM).
For now, we have to wait and see how this will turn out, firstly if they are able to deliver what they promised yesterday at the conference, and secondly, if these limited chips have the characteristics that their customers want.
And you, what do you think, will it be a global problem that concerns us all or will all parties finally agree so that technological progress can move forward? In the end, if everyone rows for it, everyone benefits. Let’s hope so and this war will end soon. Any news, we will bring it to you right now. We will watch them.
