Nvidia said it would result in a cost of $ 5.5 billion due to the tight export rules of the US government imposed on China.
The flea manufacturer is one of the main suppliers behind the boom in artificial intelligence technologies, but it will now take a license to export your H20 IA Processors in China.
An increasing trade war between the United States and China followed the Radical tariff changes announced by American president Donald Trump At the end of March. The two countries have since announced that the commercial prices of reprisals with high costs imposed on exported goods.
Consequently, Nvidia said on Tuesday that the US government had previously told him that the H20 chip demanded a permit to be sold in China – including Hong Kong. The technology giant also said that federal officials had told them that the license requirement would be in force for “the indefinite future”.
“The (government) said that the license requirement meets the risk that covered products can be used or diverted to a supercaluler in China,” said Nvidia.
