Washington has been concerned China could use Nvidia’s chips to get a jump on the U.S. in high-tech fields, particularly when it comes to artificial intelligence.

The administration said Nvidia would be allowed to sell the H20 chip after licenses are granted by the Commerce Department, according to the company. Nvidia said it would resume deliveries soon of the chip, which was designed for Chinese customers and has been a top seller in the country since 2024.

US technology giant Nvidia says it will soon resume sales of its high-end artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China. The US government has assured the firm that it will grant the licenses needed to restart exports to the world's second largest economy, the company said in a blog post.
