Nvidia's China AI-chip share falls as Huawei closes gap, report finds
Nvidia is experiencing a notable decrease in its share of the AI-chip market in China, primarily due to local competitor Huawei narrowing the gap significantly.

As Nvidia's dominance wanes, market analysts will be keenly observing how this impacts the company's future growth and pricing power in one of its key markets.
