Once again, US President Donald Trump has recounted and has changed plans in regards to his expansionist measures, to the point of lifting the restrictions that he had imposed on the sale of artificial intelligence chips to his greatest enemy, China.

Nvidia has announced this reopening in an entry published in its blog, where it has indicated that the US government has approved the sales of its IA H20 chip to reach the other side of the world, a green light that must be combined with the approval of government licenses.

«The United States Government has assured NVIDIA that licenses and NVIDIA will be granted hopes to start deliveries soon,» is indicated in the statement, where dates or export forecasts have not been indicated.

This brief also advances that the company’s founder and executive director, Jensen Huang, He has announced a new «ideal for the digital twin»Nvidia RTX Pro, without giving more details about it.

And it is that only a few days ago Nvidia broke the bag of stock exchange throughout history, reaching 4.01 billion dollars, followed by Microsoft, with a stock assessment of 3.7 billion dollars and Apple, with 3.1 billion dollars.

Nvidia chips return to China three months later

A few months ago, Nvidia was devastated due to the restrictions imposed by Trump, a scenario that led him to the edge of the abyss both in his actions, which collapsed in the stock market, as in his losses. In fact, their calculations pointed to them They would reach 5.5 billion dollars only in the first quarter.

The rope was tense for years, when Washington complicated the export of its best hardware To China, the H100 and A100 chips. To be able to survive, Literally, Nvidia embarked on a project aimed at complying with these restrictions, which announced with the name the H20 GPU.

It was in 2023 when he presented it as a product of lower performance than his best releases, but good enough to continue earning money with him in China, where Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance for the training of artificial intelligence models.

More specifically, H20 has 96 GB of HBM3 memory and a power close to 300 Tflops. It is designed to reduce and limit multi-GPU connections, in addition to lessening their abilities driven by AI.

While at first this chip seemed «harmless,» Trump decided to veto him for the Asian country in April; a prohibition that, Despite having had catastrophic consequences, it has not lasted as much as expected. Specifically, three months.

As he points out The New York Timesthe lifting of these restrictions has arrived only days after Huang, who had been pressing politicians for months to keep China inside their chips market, met with Trump.

Huang tries to file roughness

This newspaper also points out that the CEO of Nvidia considers the sale of chips for the future of the technological company, because in China there is also the future: 50% of artificial intelligence technologies developers are there.

Thus, its departure from the Chinese market could allow the native Huawei to increase its sales and compete against NVIDIA itself abroad, harming not only the economic stability of the chip manufacturer itself, but also of other US companies dedicated to the same activity.

And that is something that Huang has defended by cape and sword, with an optimistic vision of this difficult situation and insisting that China is «a competitor and adversary», not an enemyas they consider Trump and company.
