Nvidia drops after government limits exports of H20 chips to China
The government is now restricting its exports of Nvidia’s H20 chips to China — chips the company had made to bypass previous restrictions on Chinese chip exports, Bloomberg reports.
Shares of the company fell 6.2% in recent after-hours trading.
The move is part of a government effort to address concerns that “the covered products may be used in, or diverted to, a supercomputer in China.” Nvidia said the restriction could cost it $5.5 billion in charges related to the H20 line.
