Nvidia AI Chip Exports to China Impacted by Accelerated US Export Controls

Nvidia said the US sped up implementation of export controls on AI chips to China, now effective immediately instead of in 30 days.

The rules impact shipments of several Nvidia products including its A100, A800, H100, H800 and L40S advanced AI chips.

Nvidia doesn't expect an immediate financial impact but previously warned restricted access to China could harm long-term competitiveness.

Nvidia designed A800 and H800 chips to comply with prior export controls but they are now subject to the new rules.

The export controls require permits for covered product sales to specified overseas customers due to technology falling into the wrong hands.
