Nvidia modifies H20 chip for China to overcome US export controls: Reuter
- Nvidia is preparing to launch an updated variant of its H20 AI chip in China by July 2025, following restrictions that prevented the original model from entering the market.
- The US government tightened export controls last month, requiring Nvidia to obtain a license to sell the H20 chip in China.
- Nvidia redesigned the H20 chip to comply by significantly reducing memory capacity and overall performance, notifying major Chinese clients including Tencent and Alibaba.
- The company disclosed a $5.5 billion charge for unsold H20 processors and saw its stock fall nearly 5%, reflecting regulatory concerns.
- This adjustment shows Nvidia's effort to maintain its business in China despite US export restrictions that limit advanced semiconductor access.
