Overview
- Nvidia has agreed to remit 15 percent of its China sales from the performance-reduced H20 AI chip to the U.S. Treasury for permission to resume exports.
- Reports indicate that AMD faces identical 15 percent sales remittance requirements to secure H20 export approval to China.
- Nvidia says it has not shipped the H20 to China in recent months and views the remittance plan as a means to restore its competitive market access.
- Bloomberg cautions that the levy could breach constitutional limits on export taxation and might provoke legal challenges.
- Chinese regulators have flagged location-tracking and other security features in the H20, warning that the arrangement could heighten U.S.-China technology tensions.
