NVIDIA penalized by the trade and technological war between the United States and China-Liberation
NVIDIA is concerned with being done. The American electronic flea giant that weighs $ 3,000 billion is abused on the stock market. His shares dropped almost 6 % at the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, April 16. The third market capitalization, at the forefront in the artificial intelligence sector, is on the front line against Donald Trump’s customs offensive. In the viewfinder: its trade with China.
The American government announced in Nvidia on April 9 that a license would now be compulsory to export its H20 graphic chip to China, one of the most sophisticated AI products on the market. An indirect way to prohibit the export of these chips, which is specially designed for the Chinese market. Because this less efficient and slower version of the IA H100 and H200 microprocessors, reserved in the United States, respected the export restrictions set under Joe Biden in October 2022.
In the trade and technological war that opposes the United States to China, the American government hopes to keep its lead in the AI race and prevent the products developed by NVIDIA to serve the Chinese rival supercomputer for military purposes.
