Biren's AI chip revenue surges 20x in China as Nvidia, AMD retreat
Biren Technology reported first-half 2026 revenue of $183.9 million, up nearly 2,000% year-over-year, as Chinese buyers shifted to domestic AI accelerators after Nvidia halted GPU shipments to China under US export controls. Despite the revenue jump and a 42.7% gross margin, Biren posted a $56.2 million loss due to heavy investment in new chips, software, and rack-scale systems.
