Echoing Trump's sentiments, America's finance chief Bessent says the most advanced AI GPUs are restricted to home soil - China can have Blackwell chips once they're outdated

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent echoes Trump's stance on restricting China from accessing the most advanced Nvidia chips, suggesting that China could obtain outdated Blackwell GPUs in the future. Bessent emphasizes that technological advancements drive negotiations, with Nvidia planning to release the Vera Rubin chip after Blackwell. Despite bans, China still acquires Blackwell chips through unconventional means, while transitioning to domestic AI silicon. The U.S. imposes a 15% fee on companies selling modified GPUs to China, reflecting the complexities of semiconductor trade policies between the two nations.
