Like Nvidia’s H20 chips, AMD’s MI308 products were specifically restricted by the Trump administration following the roll-back of the Biden-era AI Diffusion Rule, which was set to restrict access to AI chips and AI model weights by countries, determined by a tiered system decided by the US government.

Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. plan to resume sales of some AI chips in China after securing Washington’s assurances that such shipments would get approved, a dramatic reversal from the Trump administration’s earlier stance on measures designed to limit Beijing’s AI ambitions.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) is reportedly set to restart shipments of its MI308 AI processors to China, following a provisional green light from U.S. regulators, a move that signals a notable change in approach to high-tech trade with Beijing.
