全球知名图形处理器制造商英伟达近日宣布，其专为中国市场设计的“特供版”AI芯片H20已经开始接受预订。据界面新闻报道，H20芯片的终端产品包括计算卡以及搭载8张H20计算卡的服务器。据经销商透露，这款搭载8张H20计算卡的服务器的拿货价格超过了150万元人民币，引发了业界对于定价是否合理的讨论。
不少经销商对这一高昂的价格表示疑虑，认为存在“虚高”现象，因此在决定是否进货方面持谨慎态度。据进一步的消息，H20计算卡的价格并非固定，会在一定的范围内波动。英伟达目前似乎更倾向于销售完整的服务器系统，而非单独的计算卡。
在性能方面，英伟达的H20芯片被报道大约只有其旗舰产品H100性能的六分之一。然而，尽管性能相对较低，H20的价格并未显著降低，导致其性价比在市场中显得并不突出。这一情况可能会影响消费者和经销商的购买决策，对H20芯片在中国市场的接受度构成挑战。
英伟达此举旨在满足中国市场特定的AI计算需求，但如何平衡性能、价格与市场需求，将成为其在中国市场成功的关键因素。未来，英伟达可能需要对定价策略进行调整，以适应中国市场的竞争环境和消费者预期。

Title: Nvidia Unveils China-Targeted H20 AI Chip, Dealers Approach High Prices Cautiously
Global graphics processing unit (GPU) giant Nvidia has announced that its China-specific “exclusive edition” AI chip, the H20, is now open for pre-orders. According to Jiemian News, the H20 chip will be available in end-products including computing cards and servers equipped with eight H20 cards. Dealers have disclosed that the server variant with eight H20 cards carries a wholesale price exceeding 1.5 million yuan, sparking a debate about the pricing’s合理性.
Many dealers have expressed skepticism over the high price tag, suggesting possible “inflation,” and are adopting a cautious approach to stocking up. Sources indicate that the pricing of the H20 computing cards is not fixed and may fluctuate within a certain range. Nvidia currently seems to be focusing more on selling complete server systems rather than standalone cards.
In terms of performance, the H20 chip is reported to deliver roughly one-sixth the performance of Nvidia’s flagship H100 product. Despite the lower performance, the H20’s pricing has not seen a significant reduction, making its price-to-performance ratio less competitive in the market. This could influence both consumers’ and dealers’ purchasing decisions, posing a challenge to the H20’s acceptance in the Chinese market.
Nvidia’s move aims to cater to specific AI computing demands in the Chinese market, but striking a balance between performance, pricing, and market demands will be crucial for its success. The company may need to adjust its pricing strategy in the future to adapt to China’s competitive landscape and consumer expectations.
