$NVDA just shot down reports claiming they're prepping a China-specific AI chip for year-end delivery.
The Information ran a story saying Nvidia was working on small-batch shipments of a language processing unit based on Groq tech — supposedly export-compliant and designed to work around restrictions on the next-gen Vera Rubin system.
Nvidia's response was blunt: the reporting is wrong. No LPU sales in China today. No China-specific LPU on the roadmap. Full stop.
This comes at a time when Nvidia's China exposure is already minimal. Limited H200 sales to a few select firms just started trickling in. Jensen Huang himself has basically acknowledged they've ceded most of that market to Huawei.
For anyone tracking $NVDA positioning, this is a reminder that the China narrative is mostly noise at this point. The growth story is elsewhere — hyperscalers, sovereign AI builds, and next-gen data center deployments in markets where they can actually ship product.
