Nvidia plans to share 15% of the revenue from sales of its H20 chip in China and AMD will deliver the same share from MI308 revenues, added the person, who asked for anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The Financial Times earlier reported the development.
It followed a separate report from the Financial Times that the US Commerce Department started issuing H20 licenses on Friday, two days after Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang met President Donald Trump.
The Trump administration had frozen the sale of some advanced chips to China earlier this year as trade tensions spiked between the world’s two largest economies.
An Nvidia spokesperson said the company follows US export rules, adding that while it hasn’t shipped H20 chips to China for months, it hopes the rules will allow US companies to compete in China. AMD didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
