The US government has recently placed restrictions on the sale of Nvidia chips made for the Chinese market, in an effort to prevent China from obtaining highly advanced semiconductor technology that could be used for military purposes. This move has affected both the 880 800 and top-tier chips, with the primary difference being the 880 800’s processing speeds being about 70% of the top-tier chips. Despite this, Nvidia has stated that they comply with any regulation or export requirements, and do not expect a significant impact on their financial results. However, the decline in the stock price of Nvidia is due to the high demand for their AI-related GPUs exceeding their ability to supply at the moment. The US has also required licenses for 40 other countries that China may use to circumvent these export controls. Overall, this development highlights the global competition and tensions in the technology industry, particularly in the semiconductor sector.TY
