It isn't illegal for chinese companies to buy H100 cards. It is illegal for USA companies to sell them to China. So the "admit" part wouldn't be on Chinas side.
Not really Singapore is a trading hub a lot of multi national companies have regional offices or head offices in Singapore so if the head office buys anything for any where the purchase will show up as Singapore. Despite Nvidia showing such a large revenue from Singapore actual number of gpu shipped to Singapore is not that high. Not that some of the gpus are not going China but their is a valid reason for the Nvidia Singapore revenue numbers.
I can't tell if you're insinuating that Singapore is a pass-through for H100's heading towards China or whether there is some significant development taking place in Singapore that I'm unaware of?
> Singapore plays a vital role in Nvidia's global business, accounting for 22% of its revenue as of Q3 FY2025, up from 9% in Q3 FY2023 when the first significant restrictions on AI GPU sales to Chinese were introduced
Unrelated, it's always impressed me how Singapore buys 15% of the world's h100's. Really is the AI development capital of the world.
