Nvidia Aims To Begin H200 Chip Shipments To China By Mid February
Nvidia has told Chinese clients it aims to start shipping its second-most powerful AI chips to China before the Lunar New Year holiday in mid-February, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters. The U.S. chipmaker plans to fulfil initial orders from existing stock, with shipments expected to total 5,000 to 10,000 chip modules — equivalent to about 40,000 to 80,000 H200 AI chips, the first and second sources... Nvidia has also told Chinese clients that it plans to add new production capacity for the chips, with orders for that capacity opening in the second quarter of 2026, the third source said. Significant uncertainty remains, as Beijing has yet to approve any H200 purchases and the timeline could shift depending on government decisions, the sources said. "The whole plan is contingent on government approval," the third source said.

Significant uncertainty remains, as Beijing has yet to approve any H200 purchases and the timeline could shift depending on government decisions, the sources said. Nvidia is preparing to resume large-scale shipments of advanced AI chips to China, marking a significant shift in the global semiconductor standoff that has defined the past three years. According to sources cited by Reuters, Nvidia plans to begin shipping its H200 AI accelerators to China by mid-February, just ahead of the Lunar New Year. The initial deliveries are expected to come from existing inventory and could total 40,000 to 80,000 H200 GPUs, packaged as 5,000 to 10,000 modules, depending on final approvals.
If completed, this would be the first time since 2022 that Chinese customers gain legal access to an AI processor of this class. The H200 is based on Nvidia’s Hopper architecture and represents a major leap over the China-specific H20 variant that was engineered to comply with earlier U.S. export limits. For Chinese cloud and AI firms, the difference is substantial: the H200 delivers roughly six times the performance of the H20 in key AI workloads. Although Nvidia has already moved on to its newer Blackwell platform, with Rubin next in line, the H200 remains a highly capable accelerator for training and inference at scale. Its return to relevance highlights how geopolitics can revive “previous-generation” silicon overnight.
Nvidia has told Chinese clients it aims to start shipping its high-performance H200 AI chips to China by mid-February 2026, ahead of the Lunar New Year, using existing stock for initial orders of 5,000... The plan follows a U.S. policy change under President Trump that allows such exports with a 25% fee, pending Beijing's approval and a U.S. inter-agency review[1][2]. NVIDIA Corporation provides graphics, and compute and networking solutions in the United States, Taiwan, China, and internationally. The company's Gr…
