There has been much talk recently about the sale of NVIDIA's specialized AI GPUs to China. The US government only recently rescinded the ban on NVIDIA selling H20 chips on July 14, 2025, roughly four months after slapping the regulation in place due to what it called national security concerns.
On Sunday, August 10, it was reported (via Financial Times) that both NVIDIA and AMD have agreed to pay the US government 15% of the revenue garnered from the sales of specific AI accelerators — the NVIDIA H20 and the AMD MI308 — to China.
