中国、ByteDanceとAlibabaによるNvidia RTX PRO 5500チップ購入を許可するか検討
中国当局はByteDanceとAlibaba Group Holding Limitedに対し、NvidiaのRTX PRO 5500プロセッサの購入計画を報告するよう求めたとThe Informationが報じた。これは北京が購入を許可するかどうかを検討していることを示す動きだ。報道は決定ではなく協議の内容を伝えており、いずれの政府も確認していない。Nvidiaは225.07ドルで取引を終え、0.22%上昇し、時価総額は約5兆4000億ドルに達する一方、中国の半導体株はこの報道を受けて下落した。重要なのは誰が購入するかだ。ByteDanceとAlibabaは中国で最大級の計算能力購入者であり、北京は2年間、国内製シリコンへと誘導する政策を進めてきた。その成果として、Alibabaが今月発表した自社アクセラレータは、置き換えたチップの約3倍の速度で動作する。承認にはワシントンがNvidiaの販売を許可することも必要だが、米国の議員たちは現在逆方向に動いており、中国のデータセンター技術を機密性の高い政府システムから排除しようとしている。Nvidiaは過去1年間で約3029億7000万ドルを売り上げ、時価総額は約5兆4500億ドルで、中国は事実上予測でゼロとされている。したがって承認されれば、すでにゼロを前提としている基盤に対する増分収益となる。
