Nvidia Plans Budget Blackwell Chip for China Amid US Trade Restrictions

Nvidia is preparing to launch a significantly cheaper AI chip tailored for the Chinese market—its third major redesign prompted by escalating US export restrictions that continue to reshape the global semiconductor industry.

Details:

• Nvidia's Blackwell GPU for China will cost $6,500–$8,000, compared to the banned H20’s $10,000–$12,000. Production starts in June. It uses standard GDDR7 memory and simpler packaging, reflecting weaker specs

• China makes up 13% of Nvidia’s sales. Its market share dropped from 95% to 50% after export bans, causing $15 billion in lost sales. Huawei is catching up with its Ascend 910B chip. Experts say China may match these chips in 1–2 years

• The chip’s bandwidth is limited to 1.7–1.8 TB/s, well below H20’s 4 TB/s. It may not suit all AI training. Nvidia is also building another Blackwell chip for September. CUDA remains its key advantage

Geopolitical tensions are reshaping the AI chip industry, pushing Nvidia to adapt and accelerating China's drive for tech self-reliance.

AI and Jobs

LinkedIn Exec Warns AI is Displacing First Jobs for Young Workers

LinkedIn’s Chief Economic Opportunity Officer, Aneesh Raman, warns that AI is disrupting entry-level jobs—once key to Gen Z careers. He likens it to the 1980s manufacturing decline, saying spring graduates face dimmer prospects amid economic uncertainty and automation.

Details:

• AI is automating tasks like coding, research, and retail work once done by junior staff. Wall Street firms are cutting back on entry-level hiring, and graduate unemployment is rising across sectors including tech, finance, and food service

• Entry-level roles are shifting, not disappearing. Employers prioritize curiosity, resilience, and leadership over raw intelligence. As AI takes over routine work, some juniors move to higher-level tasks. Hiring strategies are changing across industries

• The AI shift is slower than expected. IBM found 75% of AI projects fall short, with little effect on earnings in AI-heavy sectors. Companies like Duolingo and Klarna are scaling back AI use. AI handles parts of many jobs, but full replacement is rare

The key isn’t resisting change but adapting: colleges should embed AI in curricula, and companies must redesign junior roles for higher-level tasks—building a different career ladder for an AI-augmented workforce.
