Nvidia has received approval from the U.S. government to sell its advanced H20 AI chips to China, CEO Jensen Huang announced.
The company expects to start shipments soon, according to a blog post and Huang’s remarks on China’s state-run CGTN.
The H20 chip is a powerful graphics processing unit designed for artificial intelligence applications. While less advanced than Nvidia’s top models, it complies with U.S. export restrictions that limit sales of the most powerful chips to China.
Huang emphasized China’s importance in AI research, noting that half of the world’s AI researchers are based there. He said it is vital for American companies to compete and serve the Chinese market.
Nvidia’s approval comes amid ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions and tighter controls on technology exports aimed at preventing military use of civilian tech. Restrictions on AI chip sales have been a major point of contention in the AI race between the two countries.
The company has profited greatly from the AI boom, recently becoming the first firm to reach a $4 trillion market value.
Huang is currently in Beijing attending a supply chain conference and meeting Chinese officials, including Ren Hongbin of the China Council for Promotion of International Trade.
