NVIDIA's intrepid CEO, Jensen Huang, has spent a fair chunk of January travelling around China—news outlets believe that Team Green's leader has conducted business meetings with very important clients in the region. Insiders proposed that his low-profile business trip included visits to NVIDIA operations in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing. The latest updates allege that a stopover in Taiwan was also planned, following the conclusion of Mainland activities. Photos from an NVIDIA Chinese new year celebratory event have been spreading across the internet lately—many were surprised to see Huang appear on-stage in Shanghai and quickly dispense with his trademark black leather jacket. He swapped into a colorful "Year of the Wood Dragon" sleeveless shirt for a traditional dance routine.

It was not all fun and games during Huang's first trip to China in four years—inside sources have informed the Wall Street Journey about growing unrest within the nation's top ranked Cloud AI tech firms. Anonymous informants allege that leadership, at Alibaba Group and Tencent, are not happy with NVIDIA's selection of compromised enterprise GPUs—it is posited that NVIDIA's President has spent time convincing key clients to not adopt natively-developed solutions (unaffected by US Sanctions). The short hop over to Taiwan is reported not to be for R&R purposes—insiders had Huang's visiting key supply partners; TSMC and Wistron. Industry experts think that these meetings are linked to NVIDIA's upcoming "Blackwell" B100 AI GPU, and "supercharged" H200 "Hopper" accelerator. It is too early for the rumor mill to start speculation about nerfed versions of NVIDIA's 2024 enterprise products reaching Chinese shores, but Jensen Huang is seemingly ready to hold diplomatic talks with all sides.

He doesn't look particularly happy. You can see him thinking: 'Where's my bloody leather jacket gone'
 
The high/fancy grade binned women are not being shown.

Yea, I was thinkin the same thing...he must be feeling absolutely NAKED without it :D

Maybe we should just start calling him "T-shirt or flower-power vestage Man" now.....

Those girls are reserved for the "back-room" celebrations & other post-show activities :)

Maybe he's constipated from his most recent dip in the vault?

NO black leather jacket, kind of a nice change.
 
He doesn't seem to need his leather jacked at his home country.
 
Wait and see if Blackwell really brings at least 50% more performance vs Lovelace, because if that's not the case I will definitely not spend $2000 on a 5090.
Let's hope AMD RDNA 5 will be competitive and will force NVIDIA to release 5090 Ti with all cores enabled and a substantial performance uplift.
 
Those photos are so weird :wtf:

He doesn't look particularly happy with the cake which is understandable imo :D
 
NVIDIA $600!!!

I convinced a few people not to buy the 3090, but to put the money (including my cousin) into the stock instead.

When the 4090 came around, they cashed some of their earnings out, bought it, and then reinvested.

Now they are very happy.

Nvidia is going to the moon!

Well, it's not exactly known when JHH departed for his allegedly "low-key" trip to China, but Nvidia stock price is 9% up since 12th January.

(Also, AMD is 15% up in the same period ... Where has Lisa been lately?)
