Latest News on NVIDIA's Chip Supply to China
According to a Reuters report cited by Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao website on May 25, US chip giant NVIDIA is reportedly set to launch an artificial intelligence (AI) chip based on the Blackwell architecture for the Chinese market. The selling price will be significantly lower than that of the previous H20 chip, with mass production expected to commence as early as June. The report states that the AI processor, which adopts the latest-generation Blackwell architecture, is expected to be priced between $6,500 and $8,000, significantly lower than the H20's pricing. A lower selling price typically implies relatively weaker chip specifications and a more simplified manufacturing process. The report notes that this will be NVIDIA's third attempt to launch a downgraded chip for the Chinese market that complies with US regulatory requirements. The US government recently prohibited NVIDIA from selling the H20 chip, which is based on the Hopper architecture, to China.

Germany Advocates for Flexibility in EU Vehicle Emission Limits to Boost Auto Industry

Germany was stepping up efforts to push for greater flexibility in the EU on vehicle emission limits. This was part of the effort by the ruling coalition under Chancellor Merz to revitalize Germany's struggling automotive industry. After the latest round of regular coalition talks held in Berlin on Sunday evening local time, Merz stated that his government would work in EU negotiations to ensure that excess emissions beyond the over 90% reduction target would not need to be fully offset after 2035. According to a coalition policy document distributed in Berlin on Monday, vehicles powered entirely by renewable fuels, including "advanced biofuels," should immediately be classified as zero-emission, and the government also rejected the EU's proposed mandatory requirements to increase the proportion of EVs in enterprise fleets. Merz told reporters, "These key technologies must never face a cliff-edge termination.
