Core Viewpoint - A new bill proposed by Senator Tom Cotton aims to implement "geolocation tracking" features in high-end GPUs from companies like Nvidia and AMD to prevent these technologies from falling into the hands of competing nations [1][3]. Group 1: Bill Details - The bill targets not only AI chips but also high-performance gaming graphics cards [3]. - If passed, the measures will take effect six months after the bill's approval [3]. - Manufacturers of high-performance AI processors and graphics cards, such as Nvidia, Intel, and AMD, will be required to embed geolocation technology in their products to monitor the physical location of the hardware [5][10]. Group 2: Technical and Compliance Challenges - The implementation of geolocation tracking technology is not straightforward, especially for already designed high-end processors and graphics cards [12]. - Companies like Nvidia and AMD will face increased R&D costs and time due to the need to adjust production processes to incorporate tracking mechanisms [12][14]. - Exporting chip manufacturers will bear additional responsibilities, including tracking the location and usage of their products post-sale and reporting any unauthorized transfers [14]. Group 3: Impact on the Industry - Since 2022, the U.S. government has imposed strict export controls on advanced chips, particularly targeting AI and high-performance computing sectors [15]. - The recent export controls have significantly impacted companies, with AMD estimated to lose around $800 million in potential revenue and Nvidia facing losses of up to $5.5 billion [15]. - The bill also sets the stage for future regulatory upgrades, requiring annual assessments and potential new requirements based on technological advancements [18].

文 | 孙永杰 经过多轮的市场传言猜测与情绪反转，美国政府最终对英伟达的H20芯片升级了出口管制，随即英伟达 CEO黄仁勋时隔3个月再次到访中国，表示希望继续与中国合作，可见此举在业内引发的震动。而随着 H20芯片在中国市场的受限，国内AI芯片替代的真正大考也正式开启。 英伟达H20等受限，国内厂商迎替代大考机会 说到H20芯片的出口管制，近日，英伟达发布8-K文件称，美国政府于4月9日告知，H20芯片出口到中国 需要许可证，此后又于14日告知，这些规定将无限期实施。美国将H20纳入"非民用超算风险清单"，意 味着AI芯片管制从高端产品（如A100、H100）延伸至定制化中端产品。需要说明的是，H20是英伟达 在中国合法销售的主要芯片，是在2023年10月美国最新一轮出口限制生效后推出的。 | Title of each class | Trading Symbol(s) | Name of each exchange on which registered | | --- | --- | --- | | Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share | NVDA | Th ...
