The US Department of Commerce is reportedly preparing a plan that would permit Nvidia to sell H200 GPUs to China, chips that are roughly 18 months behind the company’s top-tier products.

The move is designed to strike a compromise between hard-line opponents of advanced chip exports and officials worried that sweeping restrictions simply push customers toward Chinese rivals, according to a report by Semafor, citing a person with knowledge of the matter.

Beijing has already rejected Nvidia’s less powerful H20 processors, prompting US officials to search for an option China might accept.
