Nvidia reports zero H20 sales to China
Nvidia addressed concerns over its China business in its latest earnings report, saying sales of its H20 processor had not reached the country. “There were no H20 sales to China-based customers in the second quarter,” the company said.
The H20 processor is a weaker version of Nvidia’s H100 chip designed for the Chinese market in compliance with existing US regulations around the export of high-performance computer chips used in AI applications.
In January, US President Donald Trump’s administration announced it was seeking to tighten export controls on Nvidia H20 sales to China due to “national security” concerns.
The Trump administration followed through and imposed strict export controls, which included export licenses and fees totaling about $5.5 billion, bringing H20 chips bound for China to a screeching halt.
However, the administration reversed its stance in August, allowing H20 chip sales to China to resume on the condition that Nvidia gives the US government 15% of the revenue from the chips sold to the China.
