Nvidia has instructed suppliers to halt production of its H20 AI chip destined for the Chinese market, according to reports citing anonymous sources. The directive reportedly affected Amkor Technology (advanced packaging) and Samsung (memory), and Reuters said Foxconn was also asked to stop H20-related work. The move follows Beijing urging domestic firms last week to avoid using the H20. #Nvidia #AI #China
China’s cyberspace regulator recently summoned Nvidia over national security concerns about the H20, requesting detailed chip information amid fears of potential tracking or remote-control features. CEO Jensen Huang said on a visit to Taiwan: "Hopefully the response we gave the Chinese government will be sufficient. We are dealing with them," and added Nvidia was "surprised" by the inquiries. Washington had earlier allowed Nvidia and AMD to resume sales of lower-tier AI chips to China subject to a condition that 15% of local revenue be remitted to the United States.
The report pushed Chinese chipmakers higher—Cambricon rose as much as 20%—as investors expect domestic suppliers to fill demand if H20 output is curtailed. Nvidia previously wrote off $4.5 billion of unsold H20 inventory in May, and said its revenue would have been $2.5 billion higher in the last fiscal quarter without export restrictions. Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Marvin Chen warned that halted H20 production would force China to rely on domestic semiconductors and could accelerate efforts toward self-sufficiency in sensitive tech sectors. #FiatNews
