The Trump administration has announced that Nvidia has obtained approval to export its H200 AI GPU chips to ‘approved customers’ in China and other nations. The deal includes measures to uphold national security interests and mandates a 25 percent cut of the GPU sales to the US, a higher rate than previously demanded.
The H200 chips represent an advancement over Nvidia’s existing H20 chips allowed for sale in China but are not as powerful as the company’s latest flagship Blackwell GPUs. The administration stated that this policy will ‘bolster American jobs, reinforce US manufacturing, and be advantageous for American taxpayers.’ Nvidia’s US clients are already progressing with their sophisticated Blackwell chips and the upcoming Rubin GPUs, which are not part of this agreement.
