Nvidia Expands Chip Sales to China, Complying with US Regulations

Nvidia has reportedly found a way to sell high-end chips to Chinese companies while remaining compliant with US rules aimed at limiting China's access to technology. The chipmaking giant is set to deliver three new chips, based on its H100 chip, to domestic manufacturers in China. These chips, called HGX H20, L20 PCle, and L2 PCle, have operating metrics that fall outside the threshold of US restrictions. China accounts for a significant portion of Nvidia's revenue, and while Chinese manufacturers continue to buy Nvidia's chips in the near term, they are also searching for replacements. The US has been tightening restrictions on sales to China, particularly in the semiconductor industry, as it aims to limit China's development of advanced technology for military use.
