Exclusive-China acquired recently banned Nvidia chips in Super Micro, Dell servers, tenders show
==========
Chinese universities and research institutes acquired high-end Nvidia artificial intelligence chips through resellers, despite the U.S. widening a ban last year on the sale of such technology to China. The servers contained some of Nvidia's most advanced chips, according to tenders fulfilled between Nov. 20 and Feb. 28. The 11 sellers of the chips were little-known Chinese retailers. Nvidia said the tenders specify products that were exported and widely available before the restrictions. The server makers said they complied with applicable laws or would investigate further. The buyers included the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Shandong Artificial Intelligence Institute, Hubei Earthquake Administration, the Shandong and Southwest universities, a tech investment firm owned by the Heilongjiang provincial government, a state-run aviation research centre, and a space science centre. The transactions show China still has access to advanced chips that U.S. officials say could support AI for military applications. Each purchase was limited to several servers and several dozen banned chips. The tenders did not specify the intended uses. Chinese law requires procuring agencies to check that a supplier can fulfil the tender before it is announced as the winner and a contract is signed.
