Naver signs $1.5b AI infrastructure deal, seeks Nvidia chips
Naver said the first contract covers about 20 megawatts of power capacity, with supply set to begin in 2027.
On November 12, Northwestern Polytechnical University, a Chinese university with ties to defense entities, acquired two Nvidia H200 AI chips from Shaanxi Bosuan Network Technology for 874,700 yuan (RM534,000), according to procurement notices. The H200 chips are subject to US export controls, which hinder direct shipments to China and limit global resale.
Both the School of Management and School of Cybersecurity at Northwestern Polytechnical University made similar purchases of H200 chips on October 21 and September 4, respectively. These purchases come amid a tense rivalry between China and the United States for dominance in artificial intelligence, with Nvidia's market-leading products being a focal point of contention.
In a separate development, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang may be implicated in a Chinese espionage operation, which has led to a decline in the company's stock prices. The Nvidia board is reportedly considering removing Huang, who is also embroiled in an extramarital affair with a woman accused of spying for Beijing.
