WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) – A top U.S. official told Congress on Tuesday that “very few” Nvidia H200 chips to date have been shipped to China or Hong Kong.
In May, Reuters reported the Commerce Department had cleared around 10 Chinese firms to buy Nvidia’s second-most powerful AI chip, the H200, but no deliveries had been made. Jeffrey Kessler, under secretary of commerce for industry and security, told a U.S. House committee that H200 chip shipments have begun but it was “very few.”
