Nvidia on Tuesday, April 15, notified regulators to expect a success of $ 5.5 billion this quarter due to a new license requirement of the United States in the primary chip that can legally sell in China.
American officials told Nvidia last week that you must obtain licenses to export their H20 chips to China due to Conerns that can be used in supercomputers there, said Silicon Valley company in a filling of the stock exchange and values commission (SEC).
Nvidia’s actions, which have seen high volatility since the president of the United States, Donald Trump, made a great fee announcement on April 2, fell more than 6% in the operations after the market.
The new license rule applies to NVIDIA GPUs (graphics processing units) with bandwidth similar to that of H20.
The United States had already restricted exports to the most sophisticated GPUs in China in Nvidia, adapted to feed high -end artificial intelligence models.
Nvidia was told that the H20 chip license requirement would last indefinitely, he said in the presentation. The current Fiscal Quarter of Nvidia ends on April 27.
“The results of the first quarter are expected to include up to approximately $ 5.5 billion associated with H20 products for inventory, purchase commitments and related reservations,” said Nvidia in the presentation.
