- Nvidia could soon resume sale of H20 chips in China
- CEO JENSEN HUANG has collaborated with China and USA
- The company lost billions in sales as a result of export ban
Nvidia plans to resume sales of its H20 AI chips to China after the US government confirmed it would provide the technical giant export license.
The move comes after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to China and his discussions with US President Donald Trump, all in an attempt to reach an agreement and resume sales.
As a result, it is assumed that Chinese companies such as Bytedance and Tencent are now running for placing orders on H20 chips after a short break for exports.
Nvidia could soon resume Chinese exports
Nvidia had already specially designed the H20 chip for China after US export restrictions, but it was banned in April 2025, which led to an estimated cost of $ 10-15 billion in lost sales and another $ 5.5 billion in stock depreciation. The costs were so significant that Nvidia declared these losses in its quarterly earnings report.
The potential approval of licenses from the US government could turn charges and bring in an additional $ 15-20 billion in revenue this year.
However, Trump is not necessarily to express a preference for Nvidia. AMD also expects review of its export licenses for the MI308 chips after reporting a smaller but still remarkable impact of $ 1.5 billion from export edge stone.
Although domestic competition is heated in China, many companies still prefer NVIDIA for its cuda ecosystem. Huang also recognized China’s importance to Nvidia’s strategy and called the market “massive, dynamic and very innovative” (via Pakinomist).
The potential easing of restrictions comes at an important time – China also facilitated rare ground export restrictions, suggesting that the two global superpowers could slowly reach an agreement.
