Despite US-China Tensions, Beijing Remains Crucial Market For Nvidia, Intel And Other American Chipmakers: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Despite US-China tensions, China remains a crucial market for U.S. semiconductor firms like Nvidia, Intel, Broadcom, Qualcomm, and Marvell Technology. These companies continue to report greater revenues from China than the U.S., even amid stringent export controls targeting AI-related chips. U.S. firms have adapted by developing modified AI chips for China to comply with regulations, while maintaining a technological lead. The Semiconductor Industry Association has called for a de-escalation of tensions, as China moves towards semiconductor self-reliance and the U.S. plans further restrictions on Chinese chipmaking facilities.
