Chinese state media says Nvidia H20 chips not safe for China

CHINA, AUG 10 – Chinese state media questions Nvidia's H20 chips over security and environmental issues as the company agreed to pay 15% of China sales revenue to the US government for export licenses.

  • On Sunday, Beijing-based account Yuyuan Tantian warned Nvidia’s H20 chips pose security concerns and potential backdoors.
  • Nvidia designed the H20 chips for China after U.S. export restrictions, and last month the Trump administration reversed a sales ban under a 15% revenue-share deal.
  • Alongside regulator scrutiny, People’s Daily urged Nvidia to provide "convincing security proofs" for H20 chips, after China’s cyberspace watchdog summoned Nvidia on July 31 to probe backdoor risks.

  • Over the past quarter, a billion dollars' worth of GPUs sold despite security concerns from Yuyuan Tantian, with Nvidia facing increasing competition from Huawei Technologies, Cambricon and Hygon.
