Nvidia Corporation's chief executive Jensen Huang said that the company will start selling its H20 artificial intelligence chips to China, ending months of logjam after the Trump administration restricted the sale of the chips.

The US government has assured Nvidia that licenses for the H20 AI chips will be granted, and it hopes to start deliveries soon, it said in a blog post.

The H20 chips are a lower-powered version of Nvidia's H100. It was designed to comply with earlier US export restrictions and are widely used in China for AI inference tasks.

Nvidia added that it will also launch "RTX PRO GPU" that “is ideal for digital twin AI for smart factories and logistics" in China.

Earlier in April, in the wake of US President's strict tariff rules, his administration had restricted H20 AI chip sales. This reportedly cost Nvidia $15-$16 billion in revenue.

The US export restrictions had also forced Chinese tech giants such as ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent to stockpile around 1 million H20 AI chips from Nvidia.

Huang's euphoria in being allowed to resume sales of the H20 AI chips highlights the importance of China as a market for Nvidia, which earlier this month briefly touched $4 trillion market cap for the first time.

"Jensen emphasized NVIDIA’s commitment to support open-source research, foundation models and applications, which democratize AI and will empower emerging economies in every region, including Latin America, Europe, Asia and beyond," the blog post noted.
