Nvidia recently revealed the company has received assurances from the US that it will be given a licence to resume sales of its H20 chip in China.
The company is currently in the process of filing the relevant applications with the hope being that deliveries to customers would commence soon.
Nvidia reportedly saw a surge in demand for the H20 chip from China’s tech giants in February 2025. It was its highest spec offering available in the market and at the time wasn’t subject to the same export restrictions as higher-end products. However, in April the company was informed export of the chip to countries under curbs would require a licence due to a perceived risk it could be used in a supercomputer in China. The restriction led to the tech giant taking a $5.5 billion hit in its financial results.
The revelation sales are set to commence shortly was made in an Nvidia notice rounding-up CEO Jensen Huang’s recent visit to Beijing and meetings in Washington DC. In the update it also announced the Nvidia RTX pro GPU, a chip “fully compliant” with curbs Huang noted was “ideal for digital twin AI for smart factories and logistics”.
Nvidia noted while in China the executive discussed how AI can “raise productivity and expand opportunity” while US meetings Huang pledged support to drives to push the country as a global AI leader.
