Nvidia has announced it will restart sales of its advanced H20 artificial intelligence chips to China after receiving approval from U.S. export authorities. The decision marks a significant development amid ongoing tensions over technology exports and restrictions on sensitive semiconductor products.
The H20 chips, designed for AI workloads and high-performance computing, are in high demand globally, and Nvidia’s ability to supply the Chinese market is expected to boost the company’s revenues while supporting China’s expanding AI ambitions.
U.S. regulators imposed stringent controls last year to limit the transfer of cutting-edge chip technology to China over national security concerns. The recent export approval suggests a nuanced shift in policy, balancing economic interests with strategic considerations. 
Industry experts will be closely monitoring how this move impacts the global semiconductor supply chain and the competitive dynamics between U.S. and Chinese technology firms.
