Computer chip manufacturer Nvidia has ceased manufacturing its H200 artificial intelligence processors designated for Chinese customers, according to a Thursday report from the Financial Times.
The technology company has redirected production resources at manufacturing partner TSMC from creating H200 processors to focus on its upcoming Vera Rubin technology, the Financial Times reported, referencing two sources familiar with the situation.
Neither Nvidia nor TSMC provided immediate responses when contacted for verification of the report by Reuters.
The development comes just one week after Nvidia announced it had obtained U.S. government approval to deliver “small amounts” of H200 processors to Chinese clients. The production halt indicates the company doesn’t anticipate significant H200 revenue from China in the immediate future.
A representative from the U.S. Commerce Department stated last month that Nvidia had not completed any H200 processor sales to Chinese buyers.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration officially approved Nvidia’s H200 processor exports to China in January, though actual deliveries have been delayed by regulatory safeguards embedded in the approval process.
