Huang Renxun: "China is only a few nanoseconds behind the US in semiconductor technology!"
On September 29, the South Korean media "Herald Economic" published an article stating that Huang Renxun, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said, "China is catching up with the US in the semiconductor field by just a few nanoseconds. To maximize America's economic achievements and geopolitical influence, American companies must be allowed to freely compete globally, including in the Chinese market."
Recently, Huang Renxun spoke about China's semiconductor industry and its competition with the United States in an interview program. Huang Renxun said, "China's semiconductor technology is only a few nanoseconds behind the US." He emphasized the progress and potential of China in the semiconductor field, and listed its strong talent reserves, efficient work culture, and methods of promoting internal competition to achieve results.
When talking about the US semiconductor industry, Huang Renxun said, "This is a dynamic, entrepreneurial, cutting-edge, and modern industry. That's why we must compete in China."
He also mentioned, "It is in China's interest for foreign companies to invest and compete in China, and for Chinese companies to step onto the global stage."
Chinese artificial intelligence and semiconductor companies are competing to launch domestic chips and capture NVIDIA's market share. Huawei Technologies recently released its artificial intelligence chip roadmap, showcasing methods aimed at bypassing NVIDIA's cluster approach. Companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance are heavily investing in chip R&D and design through internal projects and external investments.
At the same time, Huang Renxun refuted concerns about overcapacity in the AI industry. He said, "I think the possibility of supply surplus is very low before we completely transition all general computing to accelerated computing and AI. No one needs a nuclear bomb, but everyone needs AI."
NVIDIA recently announced major investment plans, including acquiring 4% of Intel's shares for $5 billion, and investing up to $100 billion in OpenAI over the next few years.
