Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed the company will not produce any new Hopper-series chips for China following U.S. government restrictions on AI chip exports. Speaking during a livestream with Taiwan’s Formosa TV News, Huang said, “It’s not Hopper because it’s not possible to modify Hopper anymore,” when asked about Nvidia’s next product for the Chinese market.
The statement follows the U.S. government’s move to block sales of Nvidia’s Hopper H20 chips to China as part of a broader AI export control policy. Huang, who has emphasized China’s importance to Nvidia’s growth, visited the country shortly after the latest export curbs were announced.
While Huang criticized previous AI export regulations, arguing they failed to prioritize global U.S. tech leadership, the Biden administration’s January policy—known as the Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion—imposed sweeping limits on AI chip exports to numerous countries. President Donald Trump has pledged to repeal the measure if reelected.
Earlier reports suggested Nvidia is preparing a downgraded version of the H20 chip to sustain its presence in China, where it has lost market share to rivals like Huawei. China accounted for \$17 billion, or 13%, of Nvidia’s revenue in the fiscal year ending January 26.
