This is the best summary I could come up with:
But instead of giving Nvidia and other companies some extra time to ship their AI and HPC GPUs to China, the U.S. Department of Commerce decided to speed up the implementation of its latest export curbs.
As a result, Nvidia can no longer ship A100, A800, H100, H800, and L40S GPUs to China, effective immediately.
"On October 23, 2023, the United States Government informed Nvidia […] that the licensing requirements of the interim final rule [concerning AI and HPC processors] dated October 18, 2023, applicable to products having a 'total processing performance' of 4800 or more and designed or marketed for datacenters, is effective immediately, impacting shipments of the Company's A100, A800, H100, H800, and L40S products," an Nvidia's filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reads.
On November 16, the U.S. government revealed its plans to require Nvidia and other companies to get an export license from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security to supply their powerful processors with certain levels of 'processing density' to China, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam.
If yes, the best graphics cards for gaming could end up in short supply and get considerably more expensive in China, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam.
Meanwhile, given demand for Nvidia's high-end products, including A100, H800, L40, and L40S AI and HPC GPUs, the company does not expect any immediate impact on its financial results.
