Nvidia didnt wait long to push back on the Chinese accusations against their H20 chip that is designed for the Chinese markets.
In response, a Nvidia spokesperson told CNBC that “cybersecurity is critically important to us. NVIDIA does not have ‘backdoors’ in our chips that would give anyone a remote way to access or control them.”
Looking at it from Nvidia's preceptive it would crush any tech company if it was found out you could remotely hack into their chips or disable them. Security is critical and nuking it would be the stupidest thing in the world.
Plus with all of these accusations you would expect some bombshell evidence but that has not been the case in the slightest. Instead what we are seeing is HIGHLY likely Chinese efforts to get access to the high-bandwidth memory chips. It has previously been reported that Chinese officials wanted the restrictions lifted on all of the Nvidia chips BEFORE a possible summit between President Trump and Xi. Since that is going to be a nonstarter I assume they are trying to slander the chips to hurt Nvidia.
They will still buy them because at the end of the day they need them but in an effort to try and get access to all of the banned Nvidia exports doing this is all that they can do.
