峰瑞资本·Amid the GPT Frenzy: Anxiety and Breakthroughs in China's Chip Market | FreeS Research --- The launch of ChatGPT has ignited a global AI race, and chips — the silicon foundation of this revolution — have become the most scrutinized bottleneck in China's tech ecosystem. For domestic semiconductor players, this moment is charged with both urgency and opportunity. ## The Anxiety: Caught in the Supply Chain Squeeze China's AI chip landscape is dominated by a handful of players, with NVIDIA holding roughly 90% of the market for training chips. The U.S. export controls, tightened in October 2022 and again in 2023, have systematically choked off access to NVIDIA's most advanced GPUs — the A100 and H100, then the cut-down A800 and H800 workarounds. Each restriction has sent ripples through China's AI infrastructure buildout. The anxiety runs deeper than procurement headaches. Training large language models demands massive clusters of high-bandwidth, high-memory chips working in lockstep. China's domestic alternatives remain one to two generations behind on process nodes, interconnect bandwidth, and software ecosystems. The gap isn't merely hardware; it's the accumulated decades of compiler optimization, framework integration, and developer familiarity that NVIDIA
