Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • The Trump administration has imposed new export restrictions on Nvidia’s H20 and AMD’s MI308 AI chips, effectively cutting off billions of dollars in sales to China.
  • Nvidia expects a $5.5 billion charge in Q1 due to the restrictions, while AMD anticipates up to $800 million in losses.
  • The crackdown is part of a broader U.S. strategy to curb China’s AI advancements, with policymakers citing national security concerns and the rise of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek.
  • Chinese companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance are now expected to turn to domestic chipmakers like Huawei and Cambricon to meet AI computing needs.

What Happened?

The U.S. has tightened export controls on advanced AI chips, barring Nvidia and AMD from selling their H20 and MI308 processors to China. The move is aimed at limiting China’s ability to develop cutting-edge AI technologies, particularly in light of the success of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, which has developed powerful models with less computing power.

Nvidia, which sold $12 billion worth of H20 chips to China in its last fiscal year, has been hit hard by the restrictions. The company disclosed a $5.5 billion writedown for Q1, while AMD expects up to $800 million in charges. Shares of both companies fell by around 7% following the announcement, with broader semiconductor stocks also declining.

Chinese cloud-computing giants like Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance had rushed to place $18 billion in orders for Nvidia’s H20 chips earlier this year, anticipating the ban. With the restrictions now in place, these companies are expected to turn to domestic alternatives, such as Huawei and Cambricon AI chips.


Why It Matters?

The new restrictions mark a significant escalation in the U.S.-China tech rivalry, with AI and semiconductors emerging as critical battlegrounds. By cutting off access to advanced U.S. chips, the Trump administration aims to slow China’s progress in AI while protecting American technological leadership.

However, the move also carries risks for U.S. companies like Nvidia and AMD, which rely on China as a major market. Nvidia’s $5.5 billion writedown underscores the financial toll of the restrictions, while the broader semiconductor industry faces increased uncertainty.

For China, the restrictions are likely to accelerate efforts to develop a self-sufficient chip industry. Beijing has been pushing for domestic alternatives to U.S. technology, and the latest crackdown could further boost demand for Chinese-made AI chips.


What’s Next?

The U.S. is expected to make further decisions on global AI chip sales in May, with policymakers weighing additional export controls. Meanwhile, the Commerce Department is investigating the national security implications of semiconductor technologies as part of its broader tariff strategy.

Chinese companies will likely ramp up investments in domestic chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. suppliers. Analysts predict that Huawei and Cambricon could capture a significant share of the AI chip market as Chinese firms pivot to local alternatives.

For Nvidia and AMD, the focus will shift to mitigating the financial impact of the restrictions while exploring opportunities in other markets. Nvidia’s recent announcement of plans to build AI supercomputers in Texas aligns with the U.S. government’s push to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to American shores.

The broader tech industry will closely monitor the fallout from these restrictions, as they could reshape global supply chains and accelerate the decoupling of U.S. and Chinese technology ecosystems.
