The AI giant $NVDA (-2,46 %)
presented new AI products and partnerships at Computex at the weekend,

in addition to numerous new technologies, including a possible investment in PsiQuantum.

New technologies in sight:

As part of the event, the top manager also gave an insight into new products. In his speech, which lasted around two hours, Huang presented new technologies for artificial intelligence, both in the corporate and consumer sectors.

Modified AI chips for the Chinese market in preparation

Entry into quantum computing possible through participation in PsiQuantum.

A partnership with Hon Hai Precision, also known as Foxconn, was also announced in this context.

As part of the collaboration, the company plans to build an AI factory in Taiwan, which will use NVIDIA's Blackwell GPU series.

NVLink Fusion was also presented as a platform that helps companies to set up their AI infrastructure more easily.

Of particular interest: the platform opens up NVIDIA's servers for chips from other manufacturers.

In addition, Huang also presented new AI agent software and AI software for robots and even personal AI supercomputers, which are being developed together with partners such as $2353
$QCOM (-1,78 %) and $MRVL (-5,39 %) have developed.

China to get NVIDIA chips soon

NVIDIA is also making progress elsewhere in Asia:

According to a report by Nikkei, the first deliveries of the NVIDIA AI chip adapted for the Chinese market are set to take place as early as next quarter. A modified version of its flagship Blackwell series is also set to be launched in China, the newspaper adds.

This is the US company's response to export restrictions imposed by the US government, which are jeopardizing NVIDIA's market position in China and its growth plans there.

Competition in the region is fierce, which is why the US technology giant is making great efforts to maintain its presence.

According to the report, the new AI chip for China will be a slimmed-down version of the last-generation Hopper series and will not contain high-bandwidth memory (HBM). The new flagship Blackwell series will also be adapted for the Chinese market and is set to be launched later in 2025. In line with export restrictions, this will also be equipped without HBM.

Is NVIDIA getting involved with PsiQuantum?

In addition to the AI chip business, NVIDIA is now also setting its sights on the quantum computing sector, according to a press report. As reported by "The Information", NVIDIA is negotiating an investment in PsiQuantum and is already in advanced talks regarding an investment in the quantum computing startup.

The report, which cites sources involved in the talks, states that this investment would be NVIDIA's first in a company that builds physical quantum computers, following previous investments in AI-centric companies such as $CRWV (+3,72 %) and xAI.

PsiQuantum's photonic approach to quantum computing uses photons as qubits and aims to build quantum processors using conventional semiconductor processes.

The startup is based in Palo Alto and is working hard to develop systems that outperform conventional computers.

Psi Quantum has partnerships with GlobalFoundries and receives government support in Australia and the USA, according to "The Information".
