A high-end Nvidia chip that can train and run artificial intelligence systems has not yet been sold to Chinese companies despite softened export restrictions, a US commerce official said Tuesday.
The H200 chip had until recently been barred from sale in China by Washington over national security concerns.
US President Donald Trump said in December he had reached an agreement with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to ease the restrictions, a move some lawmakers have warned could help the Chinese military.
When asked by the House Foreign Affairs Committee how many H200 chips had been sold to Chinese end-users, commerce department export enforcement official David Peters said: "My understanding is that so far none have been sold."
The H200 deal, under which the US government gets a 25 percent cut of sales, was confirmed by the commerce department in January.
But conditions imposed on their sale have reportedly made it difficult for shipments to be approved.

The Clamorous reed warbler is as loud as they come, but in the urban environment, it is outshouted. Weed clearing in urban habitats brings down its home, the bulrushes. Bulrushes in wetlands are not encroachments, but ‘legal homes’ to birds in the crake and rail family and warblers, so government line agencies ought to tread on them thoughtfully
