According to the people they know, the R & D Central will explore the specific requirements of Chinese customers and the complex technical requirements needed to ensure Washington’s crust.

The real main design and production will remain abroad due to the sensitivity of the rights around the transfer of intellectual property. Nvidia said: “We do not send any GPU design to China to follow the export control.”

The Shanghai team will also work on global research projects, optimizing the product and sector focus research such as autonomous driving, autonomous driving, and people with knowledge of the issue.

Huang also wants to provide access to the best artificial intelligence talent in China. NVIDIA is currently advertised in Shanghai, including “the development of deep learning and software development” and “developing and optimizing the global scale.”

The Shanghai government had initial support for such plans Nvidia He said that the lobbas, one of the nations to confirm the US government. Silicon Valley Company has about 2,000 employees in Chinese, mainly in sales and related support functions.
