Market Radar →Gavin Baker defends Huang's stance of giving China less powerful Nvidia GPUs
Baker says Huang has consistently advocated giving China less powerful GPUs long after they were available in America, which he sees as the best defense policy because it lowers the odds of Huawei developing a competitive AI hardware ecosystem.
Jensen has said that America should have “the first, the most and the best” when it comes to Nvidia’s GPUs.
Baker says letting Chinese AI labs not affiliated with the military use Southeast Asian cloud services fits this policy and can be turned off in an instant in a conflict.
