President Trump has allowed Nvidia to sell its H20 chips to China in exchange for a 15 percent revenue share. This move reverses an earlier ban on H20 sales, following a meeting with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who argued it poses no national security risk. Nvidia's H20 was introduced after the US banned the more advanced H800 chip to prevent China's development in AI technology. Researcher Graham Webster investigated the motivations behind the Biden administration's decision to restrict semiconductor access to China.
The H20 is obsolete. You know, it's one of those things, but it still has a market, so we negotiated a little deal.
Nvidia introduced the H20 last year after the US government banned the company from selling a more powerful chip, the H800, to China.
