NVIDIA Facing Weak Demand for New Chip as Chinese Firms Turn to Homegrown Silicon
NVIDIA's (NASDAQ:NVDA) new RTX6000D chip, built to comply with US export curbs, is seeing little demand from major Chinese firms, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters this week.
Tests showed it lags the banned RTX5090, which remains widely available through gray market channels at less than half the RTX6000D’s price of roughly 50,000 yuan (around US$7,000).
NVIDIA currently faces a balancing dilemma in China, where the US has barred exports of its most advanced processors to limit Beijing’s artificial intelligence (AI) progress, forcing the company to design downgraded models.
While sell-side analysts had forecast robust demand, including projections of 1.5 million to 2 million RTX6000Ds produced in the second half of 2025, some of China’s biggest technology buyers appear unconvinced.
Instead, tech giants Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), Tencent Holdings (OTC Pink:TCEHY,HKEX:0770) and ByteDance are waiting for clarity on shipments of NVIDIA's H20, the most powerful AI processor the US has permitted the firm to sell in China.
The US reinstated licenses for the H20 in July, but deliveries have not restarted. Companies are also watching closely to see whether NVIDIA's B30A, a stronger model still under review in Washington, will win approval.
Chinese tech firms turn to local alternatives
At the same time, NVIDIA is facing a longer-term challenge: leading Chinese firms are beginning to lean more heavily on their own silicon. Alibaba and Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) have started using internally designed chips to train AI models, according to the Information, marking a shift away from exclusive reliance on NVIDIA hardware.
Alibaba has deployed its chips for smaller AI models since early this year, while Baidu is experimenting with training new versions of its Ernie AI model using its Kunlun P800 processor.
According to the report, three employees who have worked with Alibaba’s chip said that its performance is now competitive with NVIDIA's H20, a sign of the rapid improvement in China’s homegrown designs.
Neither Alibaba nor Baidu responded to requests for comment from Reuters.
In response to the report, NVIDIA said: “The competition has undeniably arrived ... We’ll continue to work to earn the trust and support of mainstream developers everywhere.”
Although most companies still rely on NVIDIA chips for their most advanced systems, Beijing has made clear that it wants its local firms to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers by adopting domestic alternatives where feasible.
Regulatory pressure from Beijing
Compounding NVIDIA's difficulties, China’s market regulator has accused the US chipmaker of violating anti-monopoly laws. The watchdog did not specify what conduct was under investigation, but said it will continue its probe.
NVIDIA refuted the allegations, stating that it has complied with Chinese law “in all respects” and pledging to cooperate with “all relevant government agencies.”
The company has been under scrutiny in China since December, when regulators launched an initial inquiry seen as a countermeasure in the wider semiconductor standoff with Washington.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said late last month that discussions with the White House over licensing a less advanced version of its next-generation chip for China “will take time.”
Separately, the company has reportedly struck a deal with US President Donald Trump to exchange 15 percent of its China sales revenue from H20 chips in return for export approvals.

Nebius Shares Soar on US$17.4 Billion Microsoft AI Deal
Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS) surged on Tuesday (September 9) after announcing a multibillion-dollar deal with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) to provide dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
Valued at US$17.4 billion over five years and expandable to US$19.4 billion if demand increases, the arrangement will see Nebius supply Microsoft with computing capacity from a new data center under construction in Vineland, New Jersey.
The news sent Nebius shares up 43.3 percent to US$91.75, their highest level on record.
For Nebius, a spinout from Russian tech giant Yandex that has grown into a full-stack AI infrastructure provider, the agreement represents a milestone in its long-term expansion strategy.
“Nebius’s core AI cloud business, serving customers from AI startups to enterprises, is performing exceptionally well,” said Arkady Volozh, the company's founder and CEO, in a statement. “We have also said that, in addition to our core business, we expect to secure significant long-term committed contracts with leading AI labs and big tech companies. I’m happy to announce the first of these contracts, and I believe there are more to come."
Microsoft’s mounting need for external infrastructure comes as it outpaces its in-house capacity amid a broader surge in demand for generative AI services. The company, already a key backer of OpenAI, has struck similar agreements with CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) to secure high-performance computing resources.
By turning to firms like Nebius, Microsoft is looking to bridge shortages of the advanced graphics processing units (GPUs) needed to run large AI models. The company's Vineland facility, part of a wave of new greenfield projects, will provide the dedicated GPU clusters that Microsoft requires to scale its AI services. The arrangement will allow Microsoft to lock in additional computing power, while providing Nebius with long-term revenue visibility.
Beyond its cloud business, Nebius also operates or invests in related ventures, including autonomous driving technology developer Avride, edtech platform TripleTen and database company ClickHouse.
As mentioned, the scale of Nebius' Microsoft contract has immediately reshaped investor sentiment. Nebius shares, which have already more than doubled this year, gained nearly half their value in a single session.
The rally spilled over to CoreWeave, which has its own multibillion-dollar contract with Microsoft and OpenAI.
Analysts suggest that the Microsoft deal positions Nebius to attract additional marquee customers, including other hyperscalers and frontier AI labs, as the company ramps up its global footprint.
Currently, there are expectations that the company, once considered a niche spinoff, could become one of the central players in supplying infrastructure for the AI boom.
Deliveries to Microsoft are expected to begin later this year.

OpenAI Taps Broadcom to Build Custom AI Chips in Face of GPU Supply Concerns
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is reportedly set to begin large-scale production of its own artificial intelligence (AI) chips through a partnership with Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO).
Experts in the space see the move as a bid to cut reliance on chip giant NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and ease the global shortage of processors driving platforms like ChatGPT.
The news came after Broadcom CEO Hock Tan told analysts in a September 4 call that the company had secured a fourth major customer that has committed to a US$10 billion order.
Tan said the deal would bring “immediate and fairly substantial demand” beginning next year. Although he did not name the customer, sources have since identified it as OpenAI. Both companies have declined to comment publicly.
OpenAI has long relied on NVIDIA's graphics processing units (GPUs) for its AI needs, but securing enough GPUs has become increasingly difficult as demand for large-scale computing surges.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been blunt about the challenge. In February, he wrote on X: “It is a giant, expensive model. We really wanted to launch it to plus and pro at the same time, but we’ve been growing a lot and are out of GPUs.”
Altman added at the time that OpenAI was preparing to add “tens of thousands of GPUs next week … (hundreds of thousands coming soon, and I’m pretty sure y’all will use every one we can rack up).”
However, shortfalls have slowed the rollout of new models, including GPT-4.5 earlier this year, and have pushed OpenAI to explore alternatives. The Broadcom deal marks its clearest step yet in building in-house hardware.
Broadcom has been developing custom processors it calls XPUs, or accelerated processing units, which are designed for specific high-intensity applications such as AI training. A person close to the project told the Financial Times that the new chips are intended to serve OpenAI internally rather than be sold to outside customers.
The prospect of custom silicon entering the AI infrastructure market has lifted Broadcom, which has climbed more than 30 percent this year. After Tan’s announcement, shares rose nearly 11 percent in New York trading.
For OpenAI, the investment is both a hedge and a necessity. The company has been racing to scale up computing capacity as businesses and consumers adopt ChatGPT in greater numbers. Last month, Altman said OpenAI planned to double its compute fleet “over the next 5 months” to meet demand from its newest model, GPT-5.
Alongside the Broadcom chips, OpenAI has made other major moves as well: it has signed a multibillion-dollar data center contract with Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) in July, struck a smaller cloud deal with Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google in June and announced its own data center initiative called Stargate at the beginning of the year.
The deal with Broadcom also comes as Altman has been working to frame OpenAI not only as a leader in cutting-edge research, but also as a driver of economic opportunity. In a message earlier this month, he said that while AI will be disruptive, it also has the potential to “unlock more opportunities for more people than any technology in history.”
He pointed to initiatives such as the OpenAI Academy and a new jobs platform designed to help workers and companies connect over AI skills, with the goal of certifying 10 million Americans in AI fluency by 2030.

RemSense Eyes More Strategic Partnerships for Global Growth
RemSense (ASX:REM) is looking to secure more strategic partnerships as the company eyes global expansion, according to CEO and Managing Director Warren Cook.
“We have a strong pipeline of services to deliver to our existing clients that's going to take us right up through to the end of the year and into the early new year. For our global growth, we see partnerships as a critical part of our strategy to give us scale and capacity to grow throughout other parts of the region,” Cook said in an interview with the Investing News Network.
RemSense’s 3D visualisation technology — called virtualplant — is used by some major companies, including Woodside Energy Group (ASX:WDS,NYSE:WDS) and Chevron (NYSE:CVX).
“(We’re) just growing globally, with projects in the US, Bangladesh and now our more recent one in Norway, and Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM,ASX:NEM), one of the largest gold companies in the world,” Cook said.
“Those are just the three tier ones, and then we've got other tier two, tier three customers who are very loyal to us, like Triangle Energy (ASX:TEG). We delivered services to the likes of BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP), Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO). So we're really putting a lot of effort into broadening our customer base, both in in tiers and globally.”
