Nvidia is revealed to be planning to ship Groq LPU chips to China, official denies

Comparatively, according to The Information, citing two Nvidia employees, Nvidia plans to ship an LPU (language processor) based on Groq technology in small batches to Chinese customers before the end of the year, and several Chinese customers have already placed orders. The report said that there is no need to reduce the specifications of the chip; it can only be used with processors available in the Chinese market through software adjustments.

Nvidia later denied the report, saying it was “incorrect”. The company currently has no LPU sales in China, and there are no “Chinese special LPUs” in its product roadmap. In March of this year, Reuters also quoted people familiar with the matter as reporting that Nvidia is preparing to sell Groq chips to China. In an interview with Punchbowl, Huang Renxun later called the report “completely wrong,” making it clear that Groq chips will not enter China. The recommendation is based on the official statement.
