Chinese buyers are stockpiling Nvidia chips before an expected US crackdown.

Jensen Huang, who resigned Thursday, was the biggest advocate for selling Nvidia chips to China.

Nvidia shipped 678,000 AI accelerators in China in the first half, down 44%, while Huawei shipped 572,000, market researcher IDC reports.

Nvidia’s B300 delivers 6.75 times the arithmetic performance of Huawei’s best Ascend 950, Epoch AI found.

Nvidia’s board has named finance chief Colette Kress interim chief executive until it picks a successor.
