Nvidia chief says H20 chip shipments to China not a security concern

Shipping Nvidia’s H20 chips to China was “great” for Beijing and Washington and not a security threat, the tech giant’s chief said Friday.

The California-based company produces some of the world’s most advanced semiconductors but cannot ship its most cutting-edge chips to China due to concerns from Washington that Beijing could use them to enhance military capabilities.

Nvidia developed the H20 — a less powerful version of its AI processing units — specifically for export to China.
