The United States has formally green-lit Nvidia’s H200 chip sales to China, despite concerns that the communist country could use the technology to supercharge its military.
The move is expected to kick-start the company’s sales of its second-most-powerful artificial intelligence (AI) chips. The sales are being permitted subject to the condition that China cannot receive more than half the total quantity of chips sold to U.S. consumers. In addition, the chips must first be reviewed by a third-party lab to confirm their technical AI capabilities before being exported.
