Santa Clara, Wednesday, 3 September 2025.
nvidia is clarifying its gpu supply chain. this follows ceo statements suggesting h100 and h200 chips were completely sold out. amid concerns, especially regarding the chinese market, nvidia now assures ample supply. this adjustment impacts investor confidence related to nvidia’s supply chain management and future revenue projections. the chinese market faces specific restrictions, adding complexity. this clarification arrives as nvidia is reportedly halting h20 chip production. some chinese firms are turning to second-hand chips due to these constraints.

nvidia’s market strategy in china

Nvidia’s adjustments to its supply chain, announced on August 30, 2025, reflect the evolving regulatory landscape in China [7]. The company had planned to launch a new AI chip specifically designed for the Chinese market this month [1]. However, reports indicated limited stock of H20 chips customized for China, with no plans for further production [1]. In response to restrictions on the H20 chip, the AI industry in China has turned to second-hand NVIDIA A100 and H100 chips [1]. This complex situation impacts Nvidia’s competitive positioning and revenue potential in a key market.

b30a as a potential solution

Nvidia is developing a new AI chip based on the Blackwell architecture, codenamed B30A, which is expected to outperform the H20 model [1]. The company aimed to begin testing the B30A chip this month [1]. The B30A could become a new solution for GPUs in China, pending observation of US export license approvals and opportunities for Taiwanese supply chains [7]. Nvidia’s strategic halt of H20 production suggests a pivot towards the B30A as a key offering for the Chinese market [7].

gpu market dynamics and nvidia’s dominance

The global PC GPU market shows continued strong demand, with a recent report indicating a 4.9% year-on-year increase in shipments for the second quarter of 2025, reaching 74.7 million units [6]. Desktop PC discrete graphics card shipments increased by 11%, while NB GPUs saw a smaller increase of 2.5%, reflecting strong demand for discrete graphics cards [6]. Nvidia continues to dominate the GPU market, outpacing competitors like AMD and Intel [6]. The company’s product offerings, including the GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip and B200 Blackwell GPU, cater to diverse needs [5].

implications for nvidia’s stock

Nvidia’s clarification regarding GPU supply, coupled with its strategic moves in the Chinese market, has direct implications for its stock (NVDA:NASDAQ). The initial concerns about potential shortages may have created uncertainty among investors [1]. However, Nvidia’s assurance of ample supply and its development of the B30A chip could reassure the market [1][7]. Investors are closely watching Nvidia’s ability to navigate regulatory challenges and maintain its competitive edge in the AI chip market [7]. The company’s strong position in the overall GPU market further supports its long-term growth potential [6].
