In addition to the H20, Nvidia plans to launch two other L20 and L2 chips that comply with U.S. restrictions, but the details are not clear. The H20 was originally scheduled to launch in November last year, but the plan was delayed due to "server manufacturers having problems integrating the chip," according to sources. One of the people familiar with the matter said that the initial production capacity is very limited, and Nvidia needs to meet orders from mainstream customers first.
