Nvidia and AMD to Share 15% of China AI Chip Sale Revenues with US Government Amid Trade Policy Impact
Nvidia and AMD have agreed to pay 15% of the revenues from specific AI chip sales in China to the US government as part of a new export license agreement. Nvidia will share revenues from H20 chip sales, while AMD will provide the same percentage from Mi308 chip revenues. This unprecedented agreement marks the first time US companies have agreed to split revenue with the government. President Trump's trade policy decisions are affecting Nvidia and AMD chips, adding uncertainty to the tariff regime and global trade alliances. The Chinese market remains crucial for both companies, with Nvidia developing the H20 chip specifically to navigate US export restrictions on advanced AI chips.
