Nvidia, AMD to Pay 15% of China Chip Revenue to U.S. Under New Deal
Nvidia and AMD have agreed to pay 15% of their revenue from chip sales to China to the U.S. government. The arrangement is part of a deal with the Trump administration to secure new export licenses, amid escalating geopolitical and trade tensions. The agreement permits the companies to continue shipping advanced AI and GPU chips to Chinese customers while maintaining compliance with tightening U.S. export controls.
This unprecedented revenue-sharing model sets a significant precedent in tech trade policy and underscores the growing intersection of geopolitics and the semiconductor industry.
