Nvidia rushing TSMC to complete its Ampere A100 and Hopper H100 GPU orders

A Taiwanese business newspaper said that Nvidia is attempting to expedite some high-end GPU purchases. The need for haste is motivated by Nvidia’s desire to complete certain lucrative Ampere A100 and Hopper H100 GPU orders to China prior to the imposition of US-imposed sanctions. If the speculations reported by UDN are accurate, these “ultra hot runs” will bring in a nice chunk of money for Nvidia and boost TSMC’s Q4 sales to record levels.

Naturally, Nvidia is eager to fulfil orders for its premium, highly profitable GPU accelerators. The green team won’t soon be able to contact important Chinese clients since the US has placed restrictions on expensive AI chips. However, the US government will provide for a grace or transition period to give US tech firms time to react. According to the UDN report, Chinese businesses will be able to purchase A100 chips until March 2023, but not H100 chips, which have a more recent architecture, until September of this year.

According to the UDN report, TSMC has a special programme called “super hot run” that assists customers under time constraints.

The order to delivery time can be practically cut in half with this urgent order that TSMC and its customer have agreed upon (it obviously won’t be cheap). According to the source, this means that Nvidia’s order for a fresh batch of A100 and/or H100 GPUs can be fulfilled in two to three months as opposed to five to six. In addition, Nvidia will begin receiving the first deliveries of completed expedited orders as early as the end of October.

Readers won’t be shocked to learn that Nvidia DGX systems packing these GPUs will also be limited, given that sales of powerful Nvidia GPUs to China are now prohibited. That seems logical, but if China uses the technology in any dubious ways, the justification for the buffer periods allowed to firms like Nvidia to keep selling expensive chips to China (for a year after the punishment implementation date) will be seriously called into question.
