The H20 is a deliberately "nerfed" version of Nvidia's flagship H100 chip, operating at roughly 30-40% efficiency to comply with export restrictions while still allowing Chinese companies to access AI training hardware. The move comes as Nvidia has become the world's largest company by market cap at $4 trillion, achieving this milestone even without official Chinese sales, though speculation suggests many chips were reaching China through Singapore intermediaries.
