While Washington has approved licences for H200 shipments to China-based customers, Colette Kress, Nvidia’s executive vice-president and chief financial officer, said on a post-earnings call it had “yet to generate any revenue, and we are uncertain whether any imports will be allowed into the country”.
Consistent with the previous quarter, Nvidia did not include any China data centre compute revenue in its outlook for the current quarter.
AdvertisementThe comments came after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang joined US President Donald Trump on a recent visit to China. Trump later said that Beijing had not approved purchases of the H200, despite US clearance.That highlights the increasingly complex position facing Nvidia, which remains the world’s dominant supplier of advanced artificial intelligence chips but has been caught between United States’ export controls and China’s push to strengthen domestic semiconductor alternatives.
