Huang told journalists at Nvidia&#8217;s annual developers conference in San Jose, California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">&#8220;Our supply chain is getting fired up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The situation has changed from two weeks ago, according to Huang.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">A US commerce official in late February said a high-end Nvidia chip that can train and run artificial intelligence systems has not yet been sold to Chinese companies despite softened export restrictions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The H200 chip had until recently been barred from sale in China by Washington over national security concerns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">President Donald Trump said in December he had reached an agreement with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to ease the restrictions, a move some lawmakers have warned could help China&#8217;s military.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">When asked by the US House Foreign Affairs Committee how many H200 chips had been sold to Chinese end-users, Commerce Department export enforcement official David Peters said: &#8220;My understanding is that so far none have been sold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The H200 deal &#8212; under which the US government gets a 25 percent cut of sales &#8212; was confirmed by the Commerce Department in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">But conditions imposed on their sale have reportedly made it difficult for shipments to be approved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">&#8220;I think President Trump would like us to compete worldwide and not concede those markets unnecessarily,&#8221; Huang said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Beijing is ramping up domestic chip development and production in a bid to rival the industry-leading designs of California-based Nvidia, the world&#8217;s most valuable company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Nvidia&#8217;s top-of-the-range chips, the Blackwell and forthcoming Rubin series, remain banned for sale in China and were not included in the H200 agreement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">When asked about Nvidia&#8217;s dependence on Taiwan-based chip producer TSMC and the potential for China to &#8220;act on&#8221; that country, Huang said &#8220;my only hope is that we can all work together, stay at peace and look at the big picture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Huang said a goal of the US commerce secretary to have 40 percent of US chips made domestically will be &#8220;very challenging&#8221; to achieve given how fast demand is growing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">gc\/mlm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that artificial intelligence will create more jobs than it eliminates (JOSH EDELSON) \u00b7&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390678,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,289,290,381,57626,119807,18,19,17,292,10595,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-390677","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-china","12":"tag-commerce-department","13":"tag-david-peters","14":"tag-eire","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-nvidia","18":"tag-president-donald-trump","19":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116247814836897134","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390677\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390678"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=390677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=390677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
