Nvidia has instructed its suppliers to halt production of its H20 processors, specifically targeting the Chinese market, following pressure from Beijing over potential national security risks. The move comes after Chinese regulators issued a directive for domestic technology companies to cease purchases of Nvidia’s chips. This decision follows earlier concerns about hidden tracking tools or features within the H20 processors. Suppliers like Amkor Technology, Samsung Electronics, and Foxconn have been impacted by this halt in production activities. The future of H20 chips in China remains uncertain as a result of this new development. Nvidia has faced challenges with exports to China following restrictions from the US government, and their efforts to secure licenses for these chips have been hampered by ongoing scrutiny from Beijing. The move comes after reports of Chinese regulators’ inquiries regarding potential security risks associated with the H20 processors. While Nvidia claims these concerns are unfounded, they are working with regulators to address them. The company has expressed confidence in its ability to ensure the safety and functionality of the chips while acknowledging the challenges posed by these recent developments.
