A new SAFE Chips Act proposed by a bipartisan group aims to lock current export rules into law, preventing AMD and Nvidia from selling any AI accelerators based on the latest architectures to China for the next 30 months and forcing companies to compete with H20 and MI308 against China's latest AI processors.
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has introduced new legislation designed to lock in the existing export control rules on AI and HPC processors from companies like AMD and Nvidia to China and other "adversary" nations for 30 months. If the Secure and Feasible Exports of Chips Act of 2025 (SAFE Chips Act) passes, then the current GPUs tailored for China — AMD's MI308 and Nvidia's H20 — will be the best processors these companies can supply to China and other foes for the next 30 months.
