Nvidia chief Jensen Huang said it would “accelerate the recovery” of its China sales, after a détente between Beijing and Washington allowed the leading AI chipmaker to resume shipments of a key processor specifically designed for the Chinese market.
Huang told a press conference in the Chinese capital on Wednesday that the company had not yet received export licences from Washington to restart shipments of its H20 product, but he expected them “to come through very shortly”.
Nvidia had reported a $4.5bn writedown in its April quarter, as the Trump administration tightened export restrictions on advanced chips and it was left with a huge H20 inventory it could no longer ship.
