Nvidia and AMD Agree to Give 15% of China Chip Sales to U.S.

Just a few months ago, both Nvidia and AMD were shut out of one of the world’s biggest markets. Now, after one surprising deal, they are back in China — but at a cost that has everyone talking.

Something big just happened in the chip world, and people everywhere are talking about it. Nvidia and AMD both two of the biggest makers of AI chips, will give 15% of their chip sales in China to the U.S. government. This deal allows them to sell their AI chips in China again.

Nvidia’s H20 chip and AMD’s MI308 chip were banned in China because of export rules. To remove the ban and return to the big Chinese market, both companies agreed to this deal. But many people are asking questions.

Some experts say, “If these chips are risky, why sell them at all — and why just pay to do it?”

One expert called the move “wild.” These chips earn billions, and now a part of that money will go straight to the government.

For now, both Nvidia and AMD can sell in China again. But giving away 15% of their sales may reduce their profits. Their stock prices could change today, but the bigger question is how this will affect their business in the future.

This deal is a mix of politics and business. People are wondering: Are these chips really safe? Are we just paying for permission to sell? And what will happen in future talks between the U.S. and China?

For now, the world is watching this unusual deal closely.
