US Working on Nvidia China Chip Export Licenses
6 Jan
Summary
- US government actively processing Nvidia's China chip export licenses.
- Nvidia sees strong demand for H200 chips in China.
- License approval timeline for Nvidia's China shipments remains uncertain.
The U.S. government is currently engaged in intensive efforts to process license applications that would permit Nvidia to ship its advanced H200 chips to China. Nvidia's chief financial officer confirmed that the company is seeing substantial demand for these high-performance chips from the Chinese market.
Despite the strong interest and the U.S. administration's work on the applications, Nvidia has not yet received an indication of when these crucial export licenses will be approved. This uncertainty leaves the company in a holding pattern regarding its ability to serve its Chinese clientele.
This situation follows a previous reversal of a ban on exporting such chips to China last year. The ongoing review process highlights the complex geopolitical and technological considerations influencing international trade in advanced semiconductors.
