NVIDIA’s H200 approval for China isn’t just a sales win—it signals a calibrated U.S. retreat from blanket AI chip bans, allowing mid-tier exports to sustain American revenue while preserving high-end restrictions.

Broadcom leverages this momentum through bespoke AI ASICs, eroding general-purpose GPU dominance via deep cloud partnerships. The ripple effect boosts demand for co-packaged optics, advanced substrates, and liquid cooling.

The real battleground has shifted from transistor density to geopolitical compliance agility—supply chain resilience within regulatory constraints now dictates pricing power.
