Huang spoke briefly at the opening ceremony of a supply chain expo, one day after the AI giant said it would once again be able to sell its highly popular H20 chips in China
The head of Nvidia downplayed his role in getting the US government to lift a ban on selling an advanced computer chip in China and said it will take time to ramp up production once orders for the AI-processor come in. CEO Jensen Huang, speaking Wednesday in the Chinese capital Beijing, was upbeat about the prospects for the H20 chip, which was designed to meet US restrictions on technology exports to China but nonetheless blocked in April. He met US President Donald Trump before his trip and his company announced this week it had received assurances that sales to China would be approved. I don't think I changed his mind, Huang told a cluster of journalists, many of whom asked for his autograph or to take selfies with him. A carefully organised press conference at a luxury hotel descended into a crowd scene when Huang arrived in his trademark leather jacket and started taking questions randomly in his characteristic casual style. Export controls and tariffs were something companie
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the administration has allowed the resumption of sales of H20 AI chips because the company will not be giving its best technology to China

US government officials told Nvidia they would green-light export licenses for its H20 artificial intelligence accelerator, the company said in a blog post on Monday
The development comes amid a preliminary trade deal between the US and China last month, which sought China to resume the exports of rare earth and the US to relax its export curbs

While completing a master's degree in data analysis, Palwasha Zahid moved from Dallas to a town near Silicon Valley. The location made it easy to visit the campuses of tech stalwarts such as Google, Apple, and Nvidia. Zahid, 25, completed her studies in December, but so far she hasn't found a job in the industry that surrounds her. It stings a little bit, she said. I never imagined it would be this difficult just to get a foot in the door. Young people graduating from college this spring and summer are facing one of the toughest job markets in more than a decade. The unemployment rate for degree holders ages 22 to 27 has reached its highest level in a dozen years, excluding the coronavirus pandemic. Joblessness among that group is now higher than the overall unemployment rate, and the gap is larger than it has been in more than three decades. The rise in unemployment has worried many economists as well as officials at the Federal Reserve because it could be an early sign of trouble

US chipmaker Nvidia will make its debut at China's 2025 Supply Chain Expo, which is expected to feature over 650 companies and more than 100 new product launches
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Chief Executive Lisa Su has said that the chipmaker sees the artificial intelligence processor market topping USD 500 billion by 2028. The Silicon Valley company said the market is likely to grow at over 60 per cent annually to exceed USD 500 billion, from being a USD 45 billion opportunity in 2023. Addressing the company's flagship Advancing AI 2025 conference here on Thursday, Su said the growth will be led by the inferencing work, which is a shift from training. "What I can tell you based on everything that we see today is that that number is going to be exceeding USD 500 billion by 2028," Su said. The company unveiled the "MI350 Series GPUs (graphic processing units)" at the flagship event along with a host of other products. Su said opting for the newly launched chips may be beneficial for customers, claiming that they issue up to 40 per cent more tokens per dollar. It can be noted that Nvidia is generally considered an entrenched player in the G
