H20 Chip Returns to the Chinese Market—A Smart Victory for NVIDIA in the Technology Race
Khaberni -The American tech giant NVIDIA announced Tuesday that it will resume selling H20 artificial intelligence chips to China after the United States committed to lifting licensing restrictions that had halted exports. NVIDIA, headquartered in California, produces some of the world's most advanced semiconductors, but it is prohibited from exporting some of its advanced chips to China, fearing they could be used by Beijing to develop military capabilities. The company developed the "H20," a less powerful version of its artificial intelligence processing units, specifically for export to China. However, this was frozen after President Donald Trump's administration tightened export licensing requirements in April. According to the "Agence France-Presse," the company said in a statement on Tuesday that it had submitted "applications to resell the NVIDIA H20 graphics processing unit." The company added, "The U.S. government has confirmed for NVIDIA that licenses will be granted, and NVIDIA hopes to begin deliveries soon." The company's CEO Jensen Huang said in a video broadcast by China's official "CCTV" channel on Tuesday, "The U.S. government has authorized us (to submit) licenses to begin shipping H20, so we will start selling it to the Chinese market." He added, "I look forward to shipping H20 very soon, and I am very pleased with this very good news." Chinese expert Zhang Gupin noted that the resumption of exports will achieve "significant revenue growth for NVIDIA, offsetting losses it incurred due to the previous ban." He told Agence France-Presse that this move will also alleviate trade tension concerning global semiconductor supply chains. However, he emphasized that Chinese companies will continue to focus on developing chips locally, pointing out that "Trump's administration was prone to sudden policy shifts, making it difficult to assess the sustainability of such openness." The official Chinese channel reported in a report that Huang will attend a crucial assembly related to supply chains on Wednesday, during his third visit to the country this year, according to "CCTV." China is a vital market for NVIDIA. However, U.S. export restrictions in recent years have placed the company in fierce competition with local groups such as Huawei. Huang, an electrical engineer, told Chinese Deputy Prime Minister He Lifeng during his visit to Beijing in April that he "views the potential of the Chinese economy positively," according to Xinhua News Agency. The official Chinese agency quoted Huang as saying that he "is ready to continue engaging in the Chinese market and playing a positive role in promoting trade cooperation between the United States and China." The U.S. restrictions came at a time when the Chinese economy was suffering from local consumer hesitation in spending and a deep crisis in the real estate sector affecting growth. President Xi Jinping has urged making China more self-reliant amid rising uncertainties in external factors. The "Financial Times" reported in May that NVIDIA plans to build a research and development center in Shanghai, China. Neither the company nor city authorities confirmed these reports to Agence France-Presse at the time. Two sources told Reuters that Chinese companies are rushing to buy NVIDIA's H20 artificial intelligence chips, which the company said it plans to resume selling to mainland China. The White House, which had previously expressed concern that the Chinese military could use the AI chips in weapon development, did not respond to a request for comment. The sources said that Chinese companies had rushed to apply to purchase the chips, which NVIDIA must submit to the U.S. government for approval. They added that the giant Chinese companies ByteDance and Tencent are in the process of submitting applications. One of the sources said that a pivotal aspect of this process is the "whitelist" created by NVIDIA for Chinese companies to register for potential purchasing operations. Neither ByteDance nor Tencent responded to requests for comment. NVIDIA also did not respond to a request for comment on the "whitelist." NVIDIA, which criticized the export restrictions imposed by President Donald Trump's administration in April that prevented it from selling H20 chips in China, said it had developed a new model specifically designed to comply with regulatory rules in the Chinese market. This step to resume chip sales comes amid easing tensions between the United States and China as Beijing relaxed restrictions on the export of rare earth metals, and the United States allowed the resumption of chip design software services in China. Qi Hui, the semiconductor research director at Omdia, said, "The uncertainty between the United States and China remains high, and Chinese companies will continue to diversify their options to better protect the integrity of their supply chain despite the cessation of the ban on the H20 chip." NVIDIA developed these chips specifically for the Chinese market after the United States imposed export restrictions for national security reasons in late 2023. Matt Britzman, a senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said that the possibility of new licenses could increase NVIDIA's revenues by between $15 billion and $20 billion this year, depending on when the licenses are granted and how quickly they are issued. According to the latest annual report from NVIDIA, the company's revenues from China were $17 billion in the year ended January 26, which represents 13 percent of total sales.

Unreleased Beyoncé music stolen in Atlanta car break-in days before tour show
ALBAWABA - Unreleased Beyoncé music stolen in Atlanta days before concert tour. Police say that unreleased music by Beyoncé was among the things that were stolen from a car in Atlanta just a few days before the singer's four-night Cowboy Carter tour stop in the city. Some hard drives with unreleased songs, show plans, and past and future set lists for her tour were stolen from the singer's director and one of her dancers' rental cars. Beyoncé Instagram profile The theft happened on July 8, just two days before Beyoncé's first show in Atlanta. The star often goes to enormous lengths to keep secrets, so this will hurt them. Atlanta police say they have a person in custody, but they haven't said what their name is. Chris Grant, a choreographer, and Diandre Blue, a dancer, told cops that they had parked their rented black Jeep Wagoneer and gone into a nearby food hall. A police report says that when they got back, the back window of the car had been broken and two suitcases were stolen. Beyoncé Instagram profile Police were told that they were "carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé" in the stolen car. The story states that the "five jump drives" contained watermarked music, unreleased tracks, plans for past and future show footage, and a set list. A laptop, expensive clothes, and Apple AirPods were among the other things that were reported stolen. In the police report, it says that tracking information on the laptop and headphones helped the police figure out where the things might have gone. There were also "two very light prints" found when the police dusted the car for fingerprints. It's not clear if the stolen things have been found. In the second part of her solo career, the singer has worked hard to stop leaks. In the first part of her career, records like Dangerously In Love and 4 were illegally posted online before they came out. She started the "surprise drop" trend with her fifth album, which was called "Self-Titled" and came out on December 13, 2013, without any warning. It had art videos for all 14 of its songs. The album was recorded under the code name Lily and was only available through Apple's iTunes shop so that as few people as possible knew about it ahead of time. A person who worked on one of the video shoots even said that no Beyoncé songs were played on set to stop leaks. To StyleCaster, they said, "It was fun." "The entire time I'm thinking, 'What is this going to be?'" It worked out well. With 830,000 copies sold in 72 hours, Beyoncé's album became the most popular in the history of the iTunes shop. The star has used the same strategies on each record since then. When songwriters work with Beyoncé, they don't always know if their work will be used until the record comes out. Post Malone, who was on the 2024 song Levi's Jeans, told the New York Times that Beyoncé sent someone to his house in Utah with a copy of the song, which they kept secret while they worked on the words over text. He told the New York Times, "It was scary." Fans have noticed that the star doesn't like leaks and worked hard to stop the spread of her 2022 album, Renaissance, when it showed up online two days early. A scribbled note on Beyoncé's website said that she had "never seen anything like it" in response. "So, the album leaked, and you all actually waited until the proper release time so you all can enjoy it together," she said. "Thanks for calling out anyone who was trying to get into the club early. It really means a lot to me." US rapper Jay-Z (R) and US singer-songwriter Beyonce (C) (Photo by GEOFFROY VAN DER HASSELT / AFP) Beyoncé is in Atlanta right now as part of her Cowboy Carter stadium tour. It was her last show in the city on Monday night, July 10. She has been playing there since July 10. Her husband, the rapper Jay Z, unexpectedly showed up on the third night of her stay in the city. Mr. Grant is a choreographer who has worked with Shakira and other famous singers. Mr. Blue and Beyoncé danced together in a 2024 Super Bowl ad. During the ad, Beyoncé released two songs from her Cowboy Carter album, which was released later that year. The album won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. It celebrates and puts the Black roots of country music in their proper context.

Kingston's IronKey D500S is world's first and only TAA-Compliant, FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Hardware-Encrypted Drive with Trusted Supply Chain
Kingston Digital Europe Co LLP, the flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced its award-winning Kingston IronKey™ D500S hardware-encrypted USB flash drive has received NIST FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation. Designed and assembled by Kingston in California, D500S is the world's first and only FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validated drive with a TAA-compliant and trusted supply chain. When the IronKey D500S was being designed in 2020, the business goal was to make it a best-in-class hardware-encrypted drive with XTS-AES 256-bit encryption and the newest NIST security standard, FIPS 140-3 Level 3. But an additional goal was to also go beyond TAA-compliance, which only verifies the legally declared Country Of Origin (COO). The D500S was designed to ensure that all its critical components and assembly processes fully meet TAA and CMMC compliance requirements. Critical drive components include the following: - Secure Microprocessor managing all encryption and authentication processes - Digitally signed firmware for the Secure Microprocessor - Drive software launcher, which includes multi-password authentication and feature setting - NAND Flash storage chips - Assembly of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with all critical components - Encasing the PCB assembly and injecting epoxy in the rugged casing to comply with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 anti-tampering protection All critical drive components were directly sourced by Kingston from TAA-compliant and trusted suppliers and stocked in the secured Kingston Manufacturing Center in California, USA to ensure drive assembly is done in tightly controlled, engineering supervised processes. D500S will also have matching internal and external serial numbers for asset tracking and endpoint management. 'We went over-and-above competitors in the USB data protection industry to ensure that the IronKey D500S is an unrivaled best-in-class FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified drive for securing data-at-rest and meeting stringent government and military standards worldwide,' said Oscar Escayola Kaloudis, EMEA Flash Business Manager and Sales Manager DACH, Middle East and Africa, Greece and Israel for Kingston, EMEA. 'With a trusted supply chain supporting CMMC and TAA compliance, along with design and assembly at Kingston's USA headquarters, D500S stands out as the most security-focused USB drive on the market—delivering unmatched assurance for customers who require the highest level of trusted data protection.' D500S also has the industry's first dual-partition option on a hardware-encrypted USB drive with multiple passwords. This allows Admin to create two custom-sized secure partitions for Admin and User, for a Hidden File Store that can be used to provision files to the User partition as needed. When using untrusted systems or sharing the drive, the Hidden File Stores keep data secure and invisible unless accessed through proper authentication. Other advanced features include the capabilities of an Admin to set a Global Read-Only mode until reset, as well as to enter a Crypto-Erase password that will destroy the data and reset the drive to prevent unauthorized access in compromising situations. D500S also features a rugged zinc casing which meets military-grade shock, vibration and drop test specifications1 with IP67 dust and water resistance rating2. D500S offers fully customizable features and functionality to meet your organization's specific needs, with capacities up to 512GB3 and backed by a 5-year warranty and free technical support.
