Nvidia said late Monday it should soon resuming selling its H20 artificial intelligence chip to Chinese customers, after the U.S. government told the company that it would grant licenses. Nvidia stock was indicated higher overnight, along with Advanced Micro Devices, Taiwan Semiconductor and more.
The H20 GPU was designed specifically to comply with U.S. government restrictions on exports of advanced chips to China. But the Trump administration halted those sales in April.
Nvidia is filing applications to sell the H20 GPU again. "The U.S. government has assured NVIDIA that licenses will be granted, and NVIDIA hopes to start deliveries soon," the company said in a statement.
The H20 win follows CEO Jensen Huang's meeting last week with President Donald Trump and meetings with Chinese government and industry officials Monday.
Huang, in the company release, also announced a "fully compliant" RTX Pro GPU.
