04:42 AM EST, 12/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Nvidia ( NVDA ) has technology that could indicate the physical deployment location of its chips to prevent use in restricted countries, Reuters reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
The US chipmaking giant is in the process of implementing a new software service that, among other things, leverages graphics processing unit telemetry to monitor "fleet health, integrity, and inventory," Reuters cited Nvidia ( NVDA ). GPU telemetry and attestation systems allow location verification.
The feature will first be made available on Nvidia's ( NVDA ) latest "Blackwell" chips, according to the news report.
Nvidia ( NVDA ) did not immediately respond to an out-of-office hours request for comment from MTNewswires.
Nvidia ( NVDA ) has received clearance from US President Donald Trump, as per his social media post late Monday, to export advanced artificial intelligence chips to China. While H200 chip exports are allowed, Nvidia's ( NVDA ) cutting-edge Blackwell and Rubin chips remain banned.
