Nvidia, AMD may soon start selling new AI chips in China to comply with US restrictions


NVIDIA and AMD will soon begin selling new GPUs made for AI workloads in China to comply with US chip export restrictions.

To comply with the U.S.’ restrictions on exporting advanced semiconductor technology to China, chipmakers NVIDIA and AMD will soon begin selling new GPUs made for AI workloads in China, Taiwanese tech publication Digitimes reported, citing supply chain sources. Earlier this week, Reuters reported that NVIDIA is working on a new budget AI chip built on its Blackwell architecture for China that is expected to be priced at $6,500-$8,000. NVIDIA on Wednesday said it had incurred a $4.5 billion charge in Q1 due to licensing requirements impacting its ability to sell its H20 AI chip to companies in China, and it couldn’t ship an additional $2.5 billion of H20 chips in the quarter due to the restrictions.
