Nvidia boss Jenson Huang reportedly met President Trump last week Chip giants Nvidia and AMD have agreed to pay the US government 15% of Chinese revenues as part of an "unprecedented" deal to secure export licences to China, the BBC has been told. The US had previously banned the sale of powerful chips used in areas like artificial intelligence (AI) to China under export controls usually related to national security concerns.
Main Idea: Advanced Micro Devices agreed to give the US government 15% of revenue from certain chip sales in China to win export licences, in a deal that has raised security and policy concerns.
Key Points:
US consumers and workers could face higher chip costs and more trade tension if export rules become a pay-to-sell system.
Nvidia and AMD may regain some China sales, which could support US jobs and investment in chip firms.
