BEIJING, September 2 (TMTPOST) – The U.S. restricts exports of high-performance data center GPUs (graphics processors) to China.
GPU giant NVIDIA disclosed that the U.S. government has introduced a new export licensing control that will affect NVIDIA"s exports of two high-performance GPU products to China and Russia, according to a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday.
On Thursday, China"s Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin responded that China is firmly opposed to this approach, which is typical of scientific and technological hegemony, and that the U.S. side has repeatedly generalized the concept of national security, abused national power, and attempted to use its own technological advantage to contain and suppress the development of emerging markets and developing countries, which violates the rules of the market economy and undermines the international economic and trade order.
China"s Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shu Yuting also responded that the relevant practices of the U.S. deviate from the principle of fair competition and violate international economic and trade rules, which will not only harm the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, but also seriously affect the interests of U.S. enterprises. The U.S. side should immediately stop the wrong approach, treat enterprises from all countries, including Chinese enterprises, fairly and do more to benefit the stability of the world economy.
Specifically, the restrictions are mainly for two chips, the NVIDIA A100 and the soon-to-be delivered H100, as well as other chips that NVIDIA will launch in the future with peak performance equal to or exceeding the A100. NVIDIA"s application of these high-performance GPU chip system-level products, is also under the U.S. government controls.
According to NVIDIA, the U.S. government said the new export licensing controls will address the risk of the above products being used for military purposes.
Another U.S. chip company AMD, also received the relevant notice. According to a Reuters report on Thursday and an AMD spokesman, the company received new licensing restrictions that will affect the export of one of its artificial intelligence acceleration card products to China.
