arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-24 05:30:05

Beijing is demanding tech companies including Alibaba and ByteDance justify their orders of Nvidia’s H20 artificial intelligence chips, complicating the US chipmaker’s business in China after striking an export arrangement with the Trump administration. The tech companies have been asked by regulators such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) to explain why they need to order Nvidia’s H20 chips instead of using domestic alternatives, said three people familiar with the

Lisa Su Runs AMD—and Is Out for Nvidia’s Blood

A piece of advice if you’re meeting with Lisa Su: Wear sneakers. Su, the leader of AMD, moves fast these days, though I suspect that’s always been the case. Her company's chips underpin the artificial intelligence that’s changing the world at breakneck speeds. To hear Su and literally everyone else in semiconductors talk about it, the US is in an AI race with China—and the rules keep changing.

Nvidia is on the defensive. Just as the AI giant secured a fragile, high-stakes deal to resume selling its specialized chips to China, the company is now being forced to fight back against accusations from Chinese state media that its products are a national security threat. The attack, which came just hours after the deal with the Trump administration was reported, puts Nvidia in a geopolitical vise, caught between a skeptical Washington and a newly hostile Beijing.

We need an affordable MacBook, now more than ever. It’s time to face the fact that today’s headlining laptop chips are overkill for what most folk need a computer for. If the majority of internet users are browsing the internet on phones that cost $200 or $400 less than the cheapest MacBook Air, it only makes sense to put a mobile chip into a laptop shell and call it a day.
