Nvidia will soon resume sales of its AI chips in China
The H20 chips that Nvidia hopes to sell in China are the most capable it can sell in the country. That is because of laws enacted by both President Donald Trump during his first term, and President Joe Biden. These chips are not as powerful as Nvidia's GPUs sold outside China.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is currently in Beijing and set to speak during an event being held in the city tomorrow. The company released a statement that says, "The U.S. government has assured Nvidia that licenses will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon." Huang has said that Nvidia could lose its position as a global AI leader if it remains unable to sell its chips in China.
A report published today says that Chinese companies are rushing to place orders for Nvidia's GPU. These orders will have to be sent to the U.S. government for approval. Among Chinese firms reportedly getting ready to submit orders are TikTok parent ByteDance and Chinese conglomerate Tencent. For the fiscal year ended January 26th, 2025, Nvidia took in $17 billion in revenue from China, equivalent to 13% of the company's global sales.
Chinese tech companies still favor Nvidia's computing platform, known as CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). CUDA allows developers to take advantage of the parallel processing used by Nvidia's GPUs. This type of processing allows multiple tasks to be handled simultaneously while using multiple cores. It is critical for AI, where billions and trillions of operations are handled at the same time.
Investors are reacting to this new by pushing Nvidia's shares up 3.98% to $170.60. The company is now worth $4.16 trillion dollars.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is actually thinner than the Honor Magic V5
Here's a clear case of 'looking too much at spec sheets may not be very productive', especially when we're talking about 0.1mm differences. See, on paper, the Honor Magic V5 in one specific colorway (called Ivory White) is advertised by the brand to be 8.8mm thick when folded. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold7, on the other hand, is 8.9mm thick when folded. So there's a clear winner here, right? A clear "world's thinnest book-style foldable', as it were. Well, not so fast. Place the two side by side and try to balance something off of them, as famed Chinese leaker Ice Universe has done in the video below, and the roles are reversed, as you can see - the Fold7 is clearly the thinner device. There is no accurate measuring tool, but we can still draw a rigorous conclusion: Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest folding mobile phone in the world. I switched the positions of two mobile phones during the test, and the results remained the same, which showed that the factors of… — PhoneArt (@UniverseIce) July 15, 2025 So what gives? Well, it's all about the pre-applied screen protector on the Magic V5, which is not part of the official thickness measurement, but is, well, pre-applied, when you buy the phone, whereas the Samsung doesn't have such a perk. This just goes to show how irrelevant a 0.1mm thickness difference is in real life, despite brands loving to claim things like "world's thinnest" and "world's lightest". So please keep this in mind - you won't feel 0.1mm and you won't feel 1g in real life, thus it only makes sense to make your choice for buying a device based on claims like "world's thinnest" and "world's lightest" if you then want to brag to your friends about your device wearing such a (sometimes very short-lived) crown. In this day and age, a lot of foldables are already thin enough and light enough to be very comfortable to use even when folded, so we'd advise you to make your pick based on other traits they have which you require. What do you think, though? Is all of this too much hype or are even minute differences like these important to you? Let us know in the comments. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7

You won't believe what the Atari 2600 from 1977 did to ChatGPT, and Copilot while scaring Gemini
If you could place a bet on a chess match-up between the Atari 2600 and ChatGPT, which technology would you put your money on? The Atari 2600 is a game console released in 1977, 48 years ago. It features an 8-bit processor running at a clock speed of 1.19MHz. That's megahertz, folks, not gigahertz. The Atari machine carries 128 bytes of RAM. According to infrastructure architect Robert Caruso, who posted the results back in June, had you bet on ChatGPT, you would have lost. Caruso wrote that "ChatGPT got absolutely wrecked on the beginner level." He also explained how this apparent upset could take place. "Despite being given a baseline board layout to identify pieces, ChatGPT confused rooks for bishops, missed pawn forks, and repeatedly lost track of where pieces were," he stated. ChatGPT recognized that its loss was an upset and blamed it on the abstract icons used by Atari to represent chess pieces. However, even after changing to standard chess notation, the chatbot "made enough blunders to get laughed out of a 3rd grade chess club." The underpowered Atari 2600 is a chess master when playing AI opponents. | Image credit-Amazon Caruso said that during an hour and a half, he had to stop ChatGPT from making bad moves and help it understand where the pieces belonging to both sides were located. Several times per turn ChatGPT had to have its awareness of the board reset. The AI chatbot promised multiple times that its playing would improve if the game started over from the beginning. Finally, ChatGPT conceded the match. Interestingly, it was ChatGPT that suggested the contest. During a conversation about chess, ChatGPT said that it was a strong player and could easily beat Atari Video Chess, which thinks only 1-2 moves ahead. ChatGPT was curious about how fast it could win. Instead, we know it lost. At the start of this month, the Atari 2600 game console took on another modern AI powerhouse in a game of chess. Microsoft's Copilot thought that the Atari 2600 was no match for it. Even though it said that it could think 10-15 moves ahead of the Atari, Copilot said that it would stick to thinking 3-5 moves ahead because the Atari console makes "suboptimal moves. Copilot also said that, unlike ChatGPT, "I make a strong effort to remember previous moves and maintain continuity in gameplay, so our match should be much smoother." As it turned out, Caruso had to send Copilot a screenshot of the board after every move the Atari 2600 made. The Microsoft AI chatbot admitted that it had the same spatial memory gaps as ChatGPT. Despite this shortcoming, Copilot said that it could still analyze the board and make good moves. Well, apparently it couldn't as the Atari 2600 made it two straight victories against an AI opponent. Caruso then spoke with Gemini to set up a match. The Google-developed AI, like ChatGPT and Copilot, thought it had an easy victory in the bag. However, Gemini then admitted that it had hallucinated its chess-playing abilities. That left Gemini to make the only correct decision it could in light of its admission. "Canceling the match is likely the most time-efficient and sensible decision," said Gemini. While Gemini never did get a chance to take on the Atari 2600, Caruso was impressed with how the chatbot had the insight to know its own limitations. It seems incredible that a game console 48 years old using woefully underpowered technology, could beat two AI chatbots with cutting-edge tech and scare a third one into cancelling a match. But this is not really the upset that you might think it is. Senior Software Engineer Kyle Witeck wrote, " comparing language models to a chess bot that was designed to play is not intelligent and not AI. It patterns and guesses from a system designed on language. Token-driven guesses." Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 might break records in a key market for Samsung
Samsung might reach a record-breaking number of pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 in South Korea. The positive initial response to the series is an indication that the new lineup might break the current pre-orders record for the series, which was set two years ago. Analysts are basing their predictions on the very high interest consumers have shown in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 even before the official announcement of the devices. The pre-order reservations on Samsung's official website reached over 160,000 people in the two weeks before the devices' reveal on July 9. The current pre-order record for Samsung's foldables in Korea is held by the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5, which reached 1.02 million pre-orders. Last year's Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 failed to improve that benchmark, selling about 10% fewer units during pre-orders than their predecessors. A key caveat to consider is that this prediction was made for the South Korean market. While that's one of the most important markets for the company, various factors unrelated to the quality of the devices might affect their the most important right now is the turmoil at South Korea's biggest mobile carrier, SK Telecom. The company was hit by a massive data breach, which led to a dramatic loss of subscribers over the past few months. Its main competitors – KT and LG U+ – are happily offering amazing deals in am attempt to attract those subscribers. Galaxy Fold 7: Super-thin design and wider cover screen! (hands-on) The release of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 is seen by all South Korean telecoms as an opportunity to go all-out in attracting new customers. In addition, the Korean government recently repealed a regulation requiring telecoms to disclose the details of carrier subsidy deals. With that change, carriers could increase the subsidies as much as they want in order to attract new subscribers. Galaxy Flip 7: maxed-out cover screen and thinner design! (hands-on) I think there's a high chance that analysts will hit the mark with this prediction. After the underwhelming lineup from last year, Samsung made the necessary changes to both its foldables while keeping their prices unchanged. Even if there are some decent alternatives, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are probably the easiest choice for anyone who wants to own a foldable. $1120 off (53%) Pre-order the Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Samsung and grab a free storage upgrade on the 512GB model.
