英伟达近日在官网上线了两款消费级“中国特供版”芯片，以应对美国禁令。这两款芯片分别是英伟达RTX 5880 Ada工作站显卡和4090D显卡。据悉，这两款显卡主要面向消费级和AI训推等专业领域应用。
然而，值得注意的是，英伟达RTX 5880 Ada显卡相比旗舰级RTX 6000，单精度浮点性能降低了24%左右，整体性能减少了接近1/4。这意味着实际表现可能接近次旗舰性能的RTX 5000。
对于英伟达消费级RTX 5880和4090D显卡是否能用于AI模型训练和推理，行业人士透露，训练方面仅可用于70亿-650亿参数模型，无法训练万亿级参数模型；推理方面4090D显卡就能稳稳运行。
这一消息引发了业界的关注。作为全球领先的芯片制造商之一，英伟达在美国市场上一直占据着重要地位。然而，由于美国政府对华为等中国企业实施了一系列限制措施，英伟达不得不采取相应措施来应对这一局面。

“Headline: NVIDIA Launches ‘China Special Edition’ Chips, Performance Drops by 25% to Respond to US Ban
Keywords: NVIDIA, Special Edition Chips, Performance Reduction
Content: NVIDIA recently launched two consumer-grade “China Special Edition” chips on its official website in response to the US ban. These two chips are the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada workstation graphics card and the 4090D graphics card. It is reported that these two graphics cards are mainly for consumer-grade and professional applications such as AI training and inference.
However, it is worth noting that the single-precision floating point performance of the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada graphics card has decreased by about 24% compared to the flagship RTX 6000, and the overall performance has decreased by nearly a quarter. This means that the actual performance may be close to that of the sub-flagship RTX 5000.
Regarding whether NVIDIA’s consumer-grade RTX 5880 and 4090D graphics cards can be used for AI model training and inference, industry insiders revealed that they can only be used for training models with parameters between 7 billion and 65 billion, and cannot be used for training trillion-parameter models; the 4090D graphics card can run stably for inference.
This news has attracted attention in the industry. As one of the world’s leading chip manufacturers, NVIDIA has always occupied an important position in the US market. However, due to a series of restrictions imposed by the US government on Chinese companies such as Huawei, NVIDIA has had to take corresponding measures to cope with this situation.”
