## Nvidia and AMD get permission to export advanced chips to China According to recent amendments to US export controls, both Nvidia GH200 and AMD MI325X can now be shipped to China. The news, originating from a Reddit post, indicates a relaxation of the restrictions that previously hindered China's access to these technologies. This change could have significant implications for Chinese companies developing artificial intelligence solutions and requiring high-performance hardware. Access to chips like GH200 and MI325X could accelerate innovation and competitiveness in the sector. ## General context Export controls are tools used by governments to limit the sale of certain technologies to specific countries, often for national security reasons or to prevent the use of such technologies in military applications. Changes to these regulations may reflect shifts in geopolitical relations or balances of technological power.
