Nvidia's AI chip H100 price plummets in Chinese market

Affected by the US ban, the price of NVIDIA's high-end AI chip H100 has dropped sharply in the Chinese market. Despite the export ban, some dealers still risked hoarding H100 chips through special channels. For example, H100 chips are still traded in Shenzhen Huaqiangbei Electronics Market, mainly introduced to the mainland through purchasing agents or overseas shell companies. As a result, some universities, research institutions and companies can still obtain NVIDIA AI chips through special channels, although the supply is limited, which has also spawned the phenomenon of scalpers speculating on goods.
