Tech war: Nvidia to resume selling H20 graphic processing chips to China in boon for AI

The US government has “assured Nvidia that licences will be granted” for exporting the H20 chip, a made-for-China product that was less powerful than Nvidia’s gold-standard acceleration chip, and the company “hopes to start deliveries soon”, according to a Tuesday statement by the California-based chip designer.

Nvidia also planned to release a “new, fully compliant” RTX PRO graphics processing unit (GPU) for China that was “ideal for digital twin AI for smart factories and logistics,” the company said.

Huang, who is expected to attend the International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing tomorrow, met “government and industry officials to discuss how AI will raise productivity and expand opportunity,” the company said. The expo, a major conference held by the Chinese government, was previously attended by US executives including Apple’s Tim Cook.

Huang is scheduled to speak in Mandarin tomorrow morning at the Expo, according to a video clip published by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), the expo’s organiser.
