Shares of Nvidia slipped in late trading on the news, falling almost 1 per cent to a low of US$181
The Trump administration has talked about limiting Chinese firms to buying 75,000 of Nvidia’s H200 chips each, according to people familiar with the matter.
Shipments of Advanced Micro Devices’ MI325 chips, which have similar capabilities, would also count towards a customer’s cap, the people said. These accelerators – a prized commodity in the technology world – are used to develop and run artificial intelligence models.
Total shipments to China could still reach as many as a million units, the people said, citing an upper bound Trump’s team set earlier in the regulatory process.
