Meanwhile, Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML has stated it can continue selling deep ultraviolet lithography machines to China until the end of the year, despite new restrictions on the sale of the equipment. However, the company does not expect to be able to continue sales after January 2024. The Dutch government joined US efforts to block Chinese access to essential chipmaking equipment earlier this year.
Key takeaways:
- Nvidia has added parts of the Middle East to the list of regions where its top-specced A100 and H100 accelerators cannot be purchased, according to a regulatory filing.
- The US government does not ban chip exports to China, but restricts sales into the country. This has led to Nvidia, AMD, and Intel introducing lower performance, export-compliant chips.
- Despite the restrictions, Nvidia does not expect an immediate impact on its financial results. However, it warns that tighter US restrictions on GPU sales outside America could be costly.
- Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML claims it can continue selling deep ultraviolet lithography machines to China through the end of the year, despite new restrictions going into effect.
