‘Just personal matters’: Chinese GPU traders shrug off impact of Nvidia scandal
Chinese traders still confident of Nvidia GPU access amid Jensen Huang scandal
Prices for Nvidia graphics cards are falling in China’s biggest electronics market despite all the talk of tightening US export controls
The US chip giant’s top-of-the-range GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card surged in price last month at Shenzhen’s Huaqiangbei market, but that was mostly driven by rumours that Nvidia was going to halt production to focus on high-end enterprise GPUs, merchants at the market said.
Since Nvidia denied those reports, the price of the GPU has fallen from a peak of over 60,000 yuan (US$8,990) back down to about 50,000 yuan. One vendor at the market even quoted a price of 48,500 yuan.
