Breaking News - NVIDIA will pay 15% of its chip sales revenue in China to the U.S. government
According to the Financial Times, NVIDIA and AMD have agreed to pay 15% of their chip sales revenue in China to the U.S. government. That is to say, NVIDIA and AMD have exchanged 15% of their sales in China for a license... this brings to mind the tactics of the early British Empire.
This means that although there are unknowns in Sino-U.S. technology relations, the fact is that for the U.S. government, it's just about money... NVIDIA and AMD have proven this. 15% is not really a punishment, but rather a permit. There are benefits, because in this way, any future Sino-U.S. technology trade can be quantified into a predictable and modelable cost, replacing the binary risk caused by U.S. administrative bans.
Although geopolitics remains important, for American businessmen, the issue has become "how much to sell, and what profit margin?" Marx's classic saying has never gone out of style [facepalm]
