NVIDIA A800

Chip GPU Historical

The export-compliant A100 built for China after the October 2022 controls.

You're looking at a chip record: what this processor is, its key specs, who designs, manufactures and supplies its parts, and where it gets used.

When US export rules capped chip-to-chip interconnect speeds for China, NVIDIA cut the A100's NVLink from 600 to 400 GB/s and shipped it as the A800. It was itself banned by the tightened October 2023 rules, making it a marker of how policy now shapes chip design.
