He wants to charge a commission to Nvidia and AMD, and he doesn’t know if he can do it

by

In the middle of last April the US Department of Commerce imposed new restrictions to the export to China of the GPU for artificial intelligence (AI) H20 of Nvidia, which in practice caused this chip to stop reaching the Chinese clients of this company. After weeks of negotiations, and even, of several “face to face” Between Donald Trump and Jensen Huang, Nvidia has made the Department of Commerce allow him to re -give his Chinese clients its H20 chip. However, this permission has not left for free: hereinafter will deliver to the US government 15% of income which will obtain in China for the sale of this and other GPU. AMD has run this same luck, so there is no doubt that this Trump administration strategy establishes an unpublished precedent by forcing some US companies to deliver to the State a percentage of their sales income in another country. Nvidia and AMD have accepted this condition, but it is perfectly possible that it does not prosper. The export clause favors them. Not even the government is convinced that its strategy is legal In the current scenario it is surprising that the US administration has reached this agreement with Nvidia and AMD without making sure before what is pursued is legal. But it is just what has happened. Karoline Leavitt, White House spokeswoman, has made this statement: “At this time this agreement remains with these two companies, but could expand in the future to other companies (…) Legality and mechanics are still being resolved by the Department of Commerce.” The US government does not rule out a commission similar to that it wants to receive from NVIDIA and AMD to other companies As we have just seen, the US government does not rule out charging a commission similar to that it wants to receive from Nvidia and AMD to other companies, but it still does not have the legality of this agreement yet. And it is normal that it does not have it closed. Article I, section 9 of the US Constitution Says the following: “No tax or tariff will be imposed on the articles exported from any state.” This is the export clause that I have mentioned a few lines above. In practice, this article can cancel the collection of the commission of 15% to NVIDIA and AMD for three reasons. The first is that it is essentially an export tax, and, therefore, clearly violates this clause. In addition, the Export Control Reform Law 2018 specifically prohibits charging for export licenses. And finally, although it is not less important, this measure with all likelihood will be received as a tax by decree and without the approval of the Congress, which is the only power with the authority to impose taxes. Nvidia and AMD, on the other hand, have in their favor a precedent that can exempt them from paying the commission that the Trump administration wants to charge. In 1998 The US Supreme Court annulled a tax of port maintenance with which the government intended to tax the value of the burden that passed through US ports, including exports. That scenario was not very different from the current one. We will see if the Department of Commerce finally manages to legally cement the commission of 15% to NVIDIA and AMD.

Nvidia and AMD can sell their chips from AI to China. The amazing thing is that to achieve this they will give the US a slice of 15%

by

Nvidia and AMD have agreed to yield to the United States a part of the income from the sale of certain AI chips in China. This pact unlocks the export of these components to the Asian country after months of uncertainty, but does so with that unusual consideration. The context. The US government It has been for years imposing all kinds of prohibitions to Chips exports and advanced technology from AI to China. The goal has always been avoid that the Asian giant could compete. The shot has come absolutely for the cylinder headand the advance of Chinese AI models –As Deepseek– And chips –Like Huawei– They show that this tactic has not worked. Nvidia and its H20 chips. To try to avoid those vetoes, Nvidia He developed his H20 chip with the intention of meeting the requirements of the US government – not selling its most advanced chips – and thus continuing to obtain income in China. They didn’t even solve the problem, and the US government prohibited the sale of that chip in the Asian country. A dilemma that also involved AMD. US has faced for months A apparently impossible dilemma: to sell Hardware from AI to China, or that of not selling it to him and that they develop them. AMD was also in identical situationabsolutely blocked to be able to sell their chips from AI to China, which meant a colossal problem for their global income, which are nourished with force of sales in China. Solution: Give me my slice. What has unlocked all this scenario has been, of course, money. In an unprecedented agreement revealed In Financial Timesthe US government will allow NVIDIA and AMD MI308 to export to China, but 15% of the revenues of these sales will go to the United States government coffers. Jensen Huang had already notified. The CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huan, already warned that the blocking of the sale of its chips in China could cause A reduction of 15,000 million dollars In your income this year. The Asian giant represents 13% of the total income of Nvidia, but The sanctions They threatened the survival of this company (and AMD) in that country. A successful meeting. According to FT, the US Department of Commerce began to issue export licenses for the H20 Chips on Friday, two days after the NVIDIA CEO met with the US President Donald Trump. That meeting seems to have been the definitive After the theoretical initial agreement that both had reached less than a month ago. This had never happened. This “Quid Pro quo” is not preceded, FT analysts stand out, who point out that no US company had previously agreed to pay part of their income to obtain export licenses for their products. Even so, the pact follows the dictatorial position of President Trump, which In addition to its badly called reciprocal tariffs Does not to demand that companies manufacture the chips used in products that are sold there in the US, such as iPhone. The forecasts. According to analysts of the consultant Bersntein, Nvidia would have sold about 1.5 million H20 chips in China without exports controls. That would have meant revenues of about 23,000 million dollars, but now that figure is probably lower. Even so, it is expected that Chinese companies make great orders of both the Nvidia and AMD chips. A worrying precedent. Meanwhile, certain experts criticize this type of agreement. Liza Tobin, of the Jamestown Foundation, commented on how “Beijing must be gloating to see how Washington converts export licenses into sources of income. What will be the next one? Let Lockheed Martin sell F-35 to China in exchange for a 15 %commission?”. Image | Nvidia | Dominic Kurniawan In Xataka | China’s first avant -garde lithography machine is not the biggest US problem. They will be the other two that are on their way

Switch 2 is important for Nintendo, but also for a nvidia that does not want to lose ground against AMD

by

Nintendo Switch 2 It’s here. When a new generation of consoles arrives, beyond New games and experiences that allows, there is a substantive issue that may not interest all users so much, but it is of vital importance for the technology industry: Who signs the processor. We don’t know Switch 2’s heart beyond what the tests of their first games suggest. AND, Although it is evident that it is powerfulwe will have to wait to see how developers thoroughly squeeze their chip designed by NVIDIA and manufactured by Samsung. It is evident that the console is important for a Nintendo who saw that switch sales began to waverbut just as important for that NVIDIA that signs a processing unit with which, now, it comes back to the battle horse in the hybrid console segment. Nvidia returns to load When a company leads, what you want is to have even more part of the cake. Nvidia dominates The world of PC video games With iron hand and, although AMD is doing things well with its latest generations, the singing voice continues to take the company led by Jensen Huang. That battle against AMD on the PC is very unequal, but In the field of consoles, history tells us something else. Both were linked decades ago to video games on platforms dedicated with ATI (before being part of AMD) designing the GPU of Game Cube, Wii and Xbox 360 and Nvidia taking care of the GPU of the Original Xbox and of PS3. With the jump to the next generation, Nvidia got out of the equation and left the free ground for an AMD that did not succeed with her GPU, either with her CPU, but with her APU. It was his technology that convinced Sony and Microsoft for all their consoles from Xbox One and PS4 From now on. Nvidia, however, returned in 2017 with His tegra chip and a new alliance with Nintendo for Switch launch. It was not the most advanced at the time, that Tegra showed that the technology was ready To be able to create platforms that offered such experience with desktop power, but in portable format. And they have not gone wrong or Nintendo … neither Nvidia by extension. 152 million units and up. However, things have changed because Nvidia is no longer alone in this and AMD, along with Valve with Steam Deckshowed that its image reconstruction technology, Photograms generation and its power/consumption relationship could overcome what Nvidia offered with switch. Thus, we have seen AMD heart on PC consolidated as impressive as the Lenovo Legion Go or the Asus Rog Allyand it is a segment in which Intel, with a first failed proposal with the MSI Claw and a much more solid second with MSI Claw 8 AI+shows that you also have something to say. Nvidia has remained away from those PC consolidated for a reason: They didn’t have a CPU. Now, earlier this year, and after months of rumors, Nvidia presented Project Digits. It is a desktop computer for AI whose CPU is designed by NVIDIA: Graceof 20 cores, which although it is still ARM and arrived a few years ago, is now consolidated with digits as a blow to the table to a market that was dominated by Intel and AMD. Nvidia’s commitment is still far from the average user, and even further from the players, but although they are not possible to create processors that compete against Intel and the AMD Ryzen, on desktop PC, that renewed alliance with Nintendo to create Switch 2 can be, if sales accompany, the impulse that they lacked to finish deciding and being The third player in the battle of the PC consolidated. Your proposal? Beyond gross power, artificial intelligence nuclei for Push the hardware Beyond the possible until now. But of course, they would have to develop a X86 processor. Or that or throwing into the pool and marking an adventure with a valve that is already trying to stem Compatible with ARM. Although, of course, all this would be nothing if Nvidia, which money does not lack, would have signed an exclusive contract with Nintendo for this type of hardware. Whatever happens, Jensen Huang seems like engaged With Nintendo’s vision, and they may not end up getting into mud with Intel and AMD as the third company in discord, precisely, because with Switch 2 and their AI -based technology already have more than enough reasons to say an “EY, which in this segment we also have much to say at the power level”. After all, no matter how veteran the first switch was very obsolete that his heart was, I kept selling like hot bread Although the rest of hybrid systems offer much more as far as gross power is concerned.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT can also with it. And up to less money

Mounting a gaming PC (or buying one that is already mounted) is a process that requires thinking well. Evidear we must measure the hardware that we will need or want, although this will depend on what we want to spend or what we hope to extract in terms of performance. To play 4K It is clear that you have to make a big investment, Although here it will depend on what we choose. If we look at NVIDIA graphics cards, prices for their range of range are very high. The same does not happen with AMD’s, even if we put your newly released on the table AMD Radeon ™ RX 9070 XTa graph with a lot of gross power capable of Move 4K games for much less. In fact, Neobyte has several complete equipment that we can acquire if we look for a PC from scratch. We have complete teams designed to play 4K Choosing an already mounted PC has many advantages. At the level of concern, the load is much lower: it is a team that comes ready to connect and play. Besides, They are very optimized equipment to perform at the maximumwhat is always a plus to take into account. These are some of those that have available Neobyte, ideal to squeeze what we want to 4K. NEO PC with AMD Radeon ™ RX 9070 XT and 1 TB of SSD The first of these teams that Neobyte has is this PC neo that, like the other that we are going to see on this list, is starring the AMD Radeon ™ RX 9070 XT. Obviously, the graph will always be what caught our attention, but it is not the only thing worth it (and much of this team). You just have to see your CPU, an AMD Ryzen ™ 7 9800x3D, a beast with which we are going to have Great performance even with heavy applications. To the above we must add 32 GB of DDR5 type RAMas well as a crucial SSD of 1 TB and a double fan liquid cooling system. All this is mounted in an ax90 antec box with a sober design, but where the RGB is not missing. It comes out by 1,998.99 euros (instead of 2,299 euros). PC NEO GAMING R7 9800X3D RX 9070 XT 32GB 1TB SSD * Some price may have changed from the last review PC neo with AMD Radeon ™RX 9070 XT and 2 TB of SSD We have this other PC neo as an alternative to the previous one. Actually, it is a very similar version in terms of its main hardware, since it comes both with an AMD Radeon ™ RX 9070 XT and graphic and with an AMD Ryzen ™ 7 9800x3d processor. There is a quite interesting change in storage, which although it is also of the crucial brand, In this case it is 2 TB. Two other changes at the design level. In this case, the liquid cooling is three fans, so it will be more efficient to maintain the temperatures of the processor at bay. The other change, perhaps the most striking, we have it in its box: in this case, it is a Corsair box 3500 Argb with a glass front and side. This comes out by 2,189.99 euros (instead of 2,398.99 euros). PC NEO GAMING RYZEN 7 9800X3D RX 9070 XT 32GB 2TB SSD * Some price may have changed from the last review We can also directly update our Gaming PC We may have a PC at home, one that even has A AM5 compatible plate and the most modern processors. In that case, what will interest us most is Acquire separate componentseither the processor, the graph or even both. Whatever our case, in Neobyte we can also find what we need. ASUS TUF GAMING AMD RADEON ™ RX 9070 XT OC Edition If we are looking for the AMD Radeon ™ RX 9070 XT, this Asus assembly can fit us perfectly. As usual, we are facing a graph with A quite minimalist design presided over by three black fans and a Backplate Rear very in the line with the brand logo. It should be noted that it is a model with 16 GB of VRM GDDR6, which implies that, in addition to power, it will also be a longest assembly. Thanks to this card, we will have it very easy to squeeze any 4K game without having to do without graphic adjustments. This card has a performance significantly higher than the previous generation of AMD graphics cards, and that without counting that Thanks to FSR 4 we will obtain improved performance. All of the above without forgetting that it is a card that comes with Overclock serial, Ideal to scratch a little more about it. It comes out by 819.90 euros (instead of 898.99 euros). ASUS TUF GAMING RADEON RX 9070 XT OC Edition 16GB GDDR6 – Graphics Card * Some price may have changed from the last review AMD RYZEN ™ 7 9800X3D If we have a plaque with Socket AM5 and we look for a powerful processor, AMD Ryzen ™ 7 9800x3D can fit us perfectly. It is one of the best processors that AMD has right now, one that has 8 nuclei and 16 threads Able to offer clock frequencies that go to 5.2 GHz. With it, we will not have any problem, even in heavy tasks or with many applications running at the same time. Another point to take into account this AMD CPU is that it has 3D V-Cache technologywhich allows it to have a much higher performance. Matching the same with a current GPU (either the AMD Radeon ™ RX 9070 XT or its base version), We will have a powerful and lasting computer not to have to worry for a few years. Its price is 519.89 euros (instead of 749.90 euros). AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3D – AM5 processor * Some price may have changed from the last review Some … Read more

AMD and NVIDIA are promoting unreal prices for their new graphics cards. They end up costing much more

by

The same thing happens to each new generation of graphics cards. We excite ourselves thinking that we will finally have an opportunity to update our PC for a reasonable amount, and then the tortazo arrives. Because what manufacturers promise to which a world actually happens. On the one hand, Nvidia. Nvidia recently launched its RTX 5070 at a recommended price of 659 euros. Nvidia’s own edition, which had that price, It has been exhausted from the zero minute And it doesn’t even seem to be available in stores. The RTX 5070 TI, which has a recommended price of 899 euros, is possible find it at that pricebut is exhausted right now. Those that are available are more expensive versions. On the other, AMD. With the new Radeon RX 9070 / XT, three quarters of the same. The cards have gone to the market with recommended prices of 549 and 599 dollars respectively. There are not even PVPS in euros, but it doesn’t matter, because just being available in stores, its price is much higher. The most affordable we have found, a Gigabyte RX 9070, is 759.99 euros. If we want an RX 9070 XT, the most affordable model we have seen, 835 eurosIt is not available. Yes we have found one from Sapphire to 1,087.99 euros. It is a lot of difference with the prices recommended by AMD. But are they improved versions, right? The manufacturers take the reference designs of AMD and NVIDIA and try to raise additional improvements. For example, they preconfigure them with some overclocking to be something better in performance, they place additional cooling systems or add other elements, but the difference seems too high with respect to the recommended prices. Only a few at recommended prices. In Videocardz They have managed to talk to INET.se, a chain of stores and stores that sell these cards. Those responsible indicate that the recommended prices “will be applied to a limited number of cards.” In fact, they stand out, “they will only apply to the first shipment of each model.” Thus, it is not only that a few cards come out at those announced prices – which are exhausted right away – but it is very likely that such prices will not be repeated again, and go up depending on who sells them. AMD tries to soften the situation. In The Verge They have managed to contact AMD responsible, who neither confirmed or denied those allegations. What they said is the following: “It is inaccit that the recommended PVPs of 549 /599 dollars are launch prices. We hope that the cards are available in several suppliers to 549/599 dollars (excluded the tariffs and / or specific taxes of each region) based on the work we have done with our AIB partners (ADD-IN-IN-IN BOARD AIBs have different premium configurations at higher prices, which will also continue to exist. “ Deceptive advertising? The technique used by AMD and Nvidia is really worrying. Although there are users who in social networks claim to have found cards at recommended prices, many others point out how these models are exhausted and the only options are theoretically improved versions that manufacturers put at much higher prices. There is also a lot of resale and speculation, something that has been lived other times in the past. A lot of availability … if you buy an entire PC. Many of these stores offer these graphics without problems, but only if you buy them as part of a new gaming equipment. There it is more difficult to assess whether the price of the graph is really closer to the recommended or not. What is happening? The truth is that the situation is terrible for consumers, who can hardly access those graphs at the prices promised by AMD and NVIDIA. In Xataka we have contacted pccomponent, one of the main chains of sale of these products, to know if they can clarify the situation, but for now we have not obtained an answer. We will expand this article if we receive it. In Xataka | Nvidia has beat its income record again. Paradoxically, Wall Street does not seem to import much

AMD RX 9000 RX 9000 are lists. And they come determined to fight you with the GeForce RTX 50 of Nvidia

by

AMD has just presented its first graphics cards that implement RDNA 4 microarchitecture. He told us about them during the 2025 CES, but at that time he only announced a few details about his architecture. THE RADEON RX 9000 They are destined to measure from you to you with the GeForce RTX 50 of Nvidia, so presumably they will not have it easy. Whatever the new AMD graphics cards come full of novelties. His best baza a priori is his microarchitecture. And, as we are about to verify, RDNA 4 proposes a lot of refinements, so, on paper, it should significant clearly to the Radeon Rx 7000 With microarchitecture Rdna 3. In addition, the Rx 9000 RADEON proposes the technology of reconstruction of the image Fidelityfx Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4), which, on paper, is able to give us a cadence of images per second and a higher level of detail than FSR 3. Rdna 4: This is the authentic heart of the Radeon Rx 9000 The slide that we publish under these lines collects the main characteristics of the RDNA microarchitecture 4. The lithography used to manufacture the RADEON RX 9000 GPU uses a 4 Nm integration technology, presumably from TSMC. However, these chips give us many more innovations. And AMD promises that the calculation units of these GPU have been deeply redesigned, that their performance when facing the Ray layout It is higher, and that, in addition, they rely on the artificial intelligence (AI). The lithography used to manufacture the RADEON RX 9000 GPUs uses a 4 Nm integration technology AMD will continue in these graphics cards the same path as NVIDIA: it will address the reconstruction of the image using the latest generation algorithms. On the other hand, Radeon RX 9000 have SECOND GENERATION ACCELERATORSThird generation ray layouts and a second generation video signal delivery engine. An important detail: according to AMD the average performance of the calculation unit with Microarchitecture RDNA 4 is 40% higher than that of RDNA 3 solutions. The next slide clearly reflects that much of the improvements introduced by AMD engineers seeks to increase the performance of the new GPUs when they must deal with AI algorithms to face the reconstruction of the image. AMD promises that the RDNA 4 duplication of RDNA 3 in FP16 operations; It quadruples in int8 and when working with FP16 matrices with many zero values ​​(this circumstance is known as ‘sparsity’), and multiplies it by eight when operating with int8 matrices with sparsity. On paper is not but that nothing wrong. We are now with the reconstruction of the image through ia. FSR 4 technology is only compatible with the new RADEON RX 9000 graphics cards because the presence in the GPU of Hardware resources introduced by AMD in these chips. Be that as theory this technology offers us a cadence of images per second higher, a higher level of detail and a lower latency. In addition, FSR 4 uses the same application programming interface (API) as FSR 3.1, so developers who have worked with this last tool should have no problem when making the leap to the new technology developed by AMD. A curious note: in the next slide we can see that this company promises that its technology is prepared to face the neural rendering that will arrive in the future. Sounds good. We’ll see what it consists of when the time comes. The next slide collects the main specifications of the RADEON RX 9070. This graphics card, the most “modest” of the two that the Radeon RX 9000 family today, incorporates, incorporates 56 calculation units16 GB of GDDR6 VRM, the GPU works at a maximum clock frequency of 2,520 MHz and has an average consumption of 220 watts. The Radeon RX 9070 XT is a bit more ambitious than the model in which we just inquired. It proposes 64 calculation units, 16 GB of GDDR6 type VRM, the GPU works at a maximum clock frequency of 2,970 MHz and has an average consumption of 304 watts. It will be interesting to see how it yields to the GEFORCE RTX 5070 TI of Nvidia. There are the prices of Radeon RX 9000. RX 9070 XT will cost $ 599 (about 575 euros). And to get a RADEON RX 9070 we will have to pay $ 549 (Approximately 527 euros). AMD’s plan is that these two graphic solutions compete from you to you with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 of Nvidia. One last note to conclude: the two graphics cards with which the Rx 9000 AMD family is born will be available from next March 6.
