JAKARTA NVIDIA asked a number of its component suppliers to stop the production of the H20 General Processing Unit (CPU) for the Chinese market. This was done because of Beijing's recent decision.
The Chinese government has voiced its recent concerns about the processor. In fact, the government has also asked local companies to stop buying from NVIDIA due to alleged safety concerns.
According to a report by The Information, the companies NVIDIA requested to stop H20 production were Amkor Technology and Samsung Electronics. Amkor is responsible for packaging processors, while Samsung supplies memory.
NVIDIA also asked Foxconn to suspend work related to H20. The production delays imposed by NVIDIA and the ban imposed by the Chinese government show an uncertainty about the future of H20 in the country.

The Chinese government through the Maya World Administration is known to have summoned NVIDIA on the matter. They will ask for more detailed information to answer national security concerns.
Reportedly, China is worried that the processor will have a remote backdoor. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang also admitted that the government had asked questions about the backdoor.
Huang insists that there is no backdoor. Currently, the company is in discussions with the local government to resolve the issue. Huang hopes that the response given is enough to answer the concerns of the Chinese government.
