NVIDIA H20 China Ban: US Enacts Restrictions on Export of NVIDIA슬롯사이트™s Powerful GPUs to China Over Fears of AI Misuse Amid Ongoing Trade War: Report
The US has enacted restrictions on the export of NVIDIA슬롯사이트™s powerful H20 GPUs to China over fears of AI misuse, amid an ongoing trade war, according to a report.
Taipei, April 16: The United States has enacted restrictions on the export of Nvidia's H20 chips to China, tightening its control over the trade of advanced AI technology with Beijing as part of Washington's strategy to exert pressure on China amid an ongoing tariff dispute, the Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported.
Nvidia, a prominent player in AI chip development worldwide, said on Tuesday that the US government informed them on April 9 that exporting its H20 chips to China would now necessitate government permission. The company also stated that this restriction would be in effect indefinitely.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천US-China Trade War Intensifies: Donald Trump슬롯사이트™s Government Imposes 245% Tariffs on China After Its Move To Stop Export of Heavy Rare Earth Metals and Magnets.
Although the H20 chip has relatively limited computing capabilities, it possesses characteristics that make it suitable for constructing high-performance computing systems. The RFA report pointed out that the US government allegedly based its decision on fears that the H20 chips could be utilised in or modified for Chinese supercomputers.
The H20 was the most sophisticated artificial intelligence chip allowed for legal export to China, which was already under US national security-related restrictions on high-end semiconductor sales. While its performance does not match Nvidia's latest Blackwell chip, it is equipped with high-bandwidth memory akin to that used in Blackwell, offering a performance enhancement for certain applications, RFA reported.
The H20 chip attracted attention after it was used by DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup that debuted a cost-effective and competitive AI model trained with the chip in January. Earlier this year, the tech media outlet, The Information reported that leading Chinese tech firms, including Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance, collectively ordered over USD16 billion worth of H20 chips in the first quarter, marking a rise of more than 40% from the prior quarter, as noted by the RFA report.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천NVIDIA H20 Chip US Export Ban: New Restrictions by Trump Government To Have Limited Impact on South Korea슬롯사이트™s SK Hynix and Samsung, Says Report.
The US first imposed export controls on AI chips targeting China in October 2022 and has since expanded the restrictions to encompass additional technologies and nations. The enforcement of the export limitation on H20 chips coincides with a rise in trade tensions between the US and China, according to the RFA.
