Chinese universities and research institutes have recently obtained high-end Nvidia artificial intelligence chips through resellers, despite the United States widening last year’s ban on selling such technology to China.
It was gathered that hundreds of tender documents show ten Chinese entities acquired advanced Nvidia chips embedded in server products made by Super Micro Computer, Dell Technologies and Taiwans’s Gigabyte Technology after the United States government on 17th of November expanded the export restrictions to subject more semiconductors and countries to licensing rules.
The server makers however said they complied with applicable laws or would investigate further.
