The regulations, among the strongest yet from the Biden administration, limit AI chip exports to most countries except for a select group of close U.S. allies.

Nvidia Corp faces a significant revenue threat due to the latest US export restrictions on artificial intelligence (AI) chips, designed to limit the global distribution of these coveted processors, analysts and investors said on Monday.

Global data centers are filling up with GPUs and Nvidia has so far claimed an estimated 90% of that market share. Highly complex chips like GPUs are largely manufactured in Taiwan, but most of the companies that design them are based in the US and so their products are within the Department of Commerce's jurisdiction.
