Semiconductor giant NVIDIA is facing unexpected new US export control on the H20 chip.
NVIDIA said on Tuesday that it was informed that the US government needed a license to export the H20 AI chip to China. This license will be required to be indefinitely according to the submission. The US government quoted the risk that “(H20) can be used in China’s supercomputers.”
NVIDIA is expected to cost $ 5.5 billion in fiscal year by April 27, which will end on April 27. The company’s shares have decreased by about 6% in extended transactions.
The H20 is the most advanced AI chip NVIDIA that can be exported to China in accordance with the US current and previous export rules. Last week, the NPR reported that Jensen Huang CEO could escape the new H20 limit during dinner at Donald Trump’s Mar-resort.
Perhaps by chance, NVIDIA announced on Monday that it will spend hundreds of millions of dollars in manufacturing some AI chips for US experts for the next four years.
The chip was used to train the model of China -based AI startup DeepSeek, including the R1 “reasoning” model that threw the US AI market in January, so many government officials were calling for strong export control of H20.
NVIDIA refused to comment.
