💼 New Job Opportunities
NVIDIA
Nvidia isn’t giving up on China — but it’s treading carefully.
In the face of mounting U.S. export restrictions and a worsening trade standoff, Nvidia is reportedly planning to roll out a cheaper version of its powerful Blackwell AI chip to stay in the Chinese market — without crossing legal red lines.

Nvidia's China Workaround
Facing tight U.S. export rules, Nvidia is reportedly prepping a cheaper Blackwell-based GPU just for China.
Why? To keep a foothold in one of the world’s biggest AI markets.
🧠 What’s the chip?
A scaled-down successor to the H20, likely based on:
🧱 RTX Pro 6000D architecture
⚡ 1.7TB/s GDDR7 memory (vs. H20’s 4TB/s)
💸 Priced at $6.5K–$8K (H20 costs $10K–$12K)
🗓️ Launch Timeline
📦 Mass production starts in June
But… Nvidia says it's still “foreclosed” from China until the U.S. approves the final design.
🤔 Why it matters
China is a massive AI growth engine 🌏
Nvidia wants to stay relevant without breaking the rules
But Huawei’s catching up fast in AI infrastructure
⚠️ The Bigger Picture
✅ A smart move to buy time
🚫 But not a guaranteed win
💣 The U.S.–China tech standoff is only heating up...

StartEngine’s $30M Surge — Own a Piece Before June 26
Private markets are having a moment, thanks to companies like StartEngine.
The leading alternative investing platform is helping everyday investors like you access deals once reserved for VCs and insiders, including exposure to private market titans like OpenAI, Databricks, and Perplexity.¹
How’s it going? In Q1 2025, StartEngine pulled off $30M in revenue, its biggest quarter ever (based on unaudited financials).²
But StartEngine isn’t just a middleman. The company earns 20% carried interest on select pre-IPO offerings, unlocking value for shareholders when these deals succeed.³
How can you tap into this diversification play? By investing in StartEngine.
StartEngine has crowdfunded $85M+ to date, and you can join 45K+ shareholders before the company’s current round closes on June 26.
