Nvidia said Blackwell datacentre revenue grew by 17% sequentially. However, the company said it had not assumed any shipments of the H20 device to China in its outlook.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlackwell is the AI [artificial intelligence] platform the world has been waiting for, delivering an exceptional generational leap \u2013 production of Blackwell Ultra is ramping at full speed and demand is extraordinary,\u201d said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. \u201cNvidia NVLink rack-scale computing is revolutionary, arriving just in time as reasoning AI models drive orders-of-magnitude increases in training and inference performance. The AI race is on, and Blackwell is the platform at its centre.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Forrester senior analyst Alvin Nguyen noted that interest in state-of-the-art products, such as Blackwell, remains high. \u201cThe company is making strategic moves across areas under their control, including continued development of state-of-the-art datacentre GPUs [graphics processing units], innovation in new growth areas like robotics and physical AI, and promoting use cases that drive increased GPU purchases, such as reasoning AI and rack-scale computing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to a question during the earnings call regarding China, Huang said: \u201cChina is the second largest computing market in the world and the home of AI researchers.\u201d According to Huang, about 50% of the world\u2019s AI researchers are in China. He estimated the China opportunity to be worth $50bn to Nvidia. \u201cIt\u2019s fairly important for American technology companies to be able to address that market.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/366628713\/Trump-slaps-100-tariffs-on-chips-to-get-tech-onshore\">US administration<\/a> said it would allow Nvidia to sell chips to the Chinese market. This is part of a deal that would see the previous export restrictions overturned in favour of companies giving the US government 15% of sales revenue. It is believed that the deal does not include Nvidia\u2019s Blackwell chip.<\/p>\n<p>While the Trump administration has imposed export restrictions on sales of high-end graphics processor units and AI acceleration hardware to China, Huang sees an opportunity to bring its Blackwell AI accelerator technology to the Chinese market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re talking to the administration about the importance of American companies to be able to address the Chinese market,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Discussing the issues Nvidia is facing regarding China, Kate Leaman, chief market analyst at AvaTrade, said: \u201cNvidia didn\u2019t ship any of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/366622857\/AI-chip-restrictions-limit-Nvidia-H20-China-exports\">H20 chips to China<\/a> this quarter. Export restrictions are biting. Management said if those rules ease, it could add $2bn to $5bn in sales next quarter. But that\u2019s a big \u2018if\u2019 \u2013 markets don\u2019t like uncertainty, especially with geopolitics in the mix.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leaman said Nvidia\u2019s results support the idea that AI infrastructure is the next long-term growth engine. \u201cIt\u2019s good news for chipmakers, cloud providers and even more speculative AI plays. This is a rising tide moment,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>However, as Leaman noted, China\u2019s situation is a reminder that no matter how strong a company is, macro forces still matter. \u201cRegulation, trade tensions and global politics are now part of the equation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"DigDeeperSplash\">\n<h4>\n\t\t\t<i data-icon=\"m\"><\/i>Read more on Chips and processor hardware<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a id=\"DigDeeperItem-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/366629633\/HPE-taps-into-AI-market-demand-with-Nvidia-Blackwell-powered-servers\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/visuals\/German\/article\/network-technician-3-adobe_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/visuals\/German\/article\/network-technician-3-adobe_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg 960w,https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/visuals\/German\/article\/network-technician-3-adobe.jpg 1280w\" alt ><\/p>\n<h5>HPE taps into AI market demand with Nvidia Blackwell-powered servers<\/h5>\n<p><span>By: <span> Tiago \u00a0Ventura<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a id=\"DigDeeperItem-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/whatis\/feature\/Whats-going-on-with-Nvidia-stock-and-the-booming-AI-market\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/toolGearArrow_g140057613_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/toolGearArrow_g140057613_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg 960w,https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/toolGearArrow_g140057613.jpg 1280w\" alt ><\/p>\n<h5>What&#8217;s going on with Nvidia stock and the booming AI market?<\/h5>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/hetler_amanda.jpg\" alt=\"AmandaHetler\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><span>By: <span>Amanda\u00a0Hetler<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a id=\"DigDeeperItem-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/searchdatacenter\/news\/366629130\/Nvidia-introduces-entry-level-RTX-Pro-GPU\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/storage_g1180684429_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/storage_g1180684429_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg 960w,https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/storage_g1180684429.jpg 1280w\" alt ><\/p>\n<h5>Nvidia introduces entry-level RTX Pro GPU<\/h5>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/snider_shane.jpg\" alt=\"ShaneSnider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><span>By: <span>Shane\u00a0Snider<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a id=\"DigDeeperItem-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/searchdatacenter\/news\/366628975\/Trump-fee-for-Nvidia-AMD-China-exports-could-face-legal-battle\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/legal_g90787303_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/legal_g90787303_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg 960w,https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/legal_g90787303.jpg 1280w\" alt ><\/p>\n<h5>Trump fee for Nvidia, AMD China exports could face legal battle<\/h5>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/snider_shane.jpg\" alt=\"ShaneSnider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><span>By: <span>Shane\u00a0Snider<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/366629948\/Nvidias-Jensen-Huang-lobbies-Trump-administration-to-sell-Blackwell-to-China\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Zonia Haslett<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>beebright &#8211; stock.adobe.com The AI acceleration technology provider is looking at the massive opportunity in selling high-end chips to China By Cliff Saran, Managing Editor Published: 28 Aug 2025 13:15 Nvidia has posted another massive growth in its datacentre business, but its CEO is eager to sell the company\u2019s high-end Blackwell chip to China.
