Nvidia has asked some component suppliers to stop production work related to its China-focused H20 chips, amidst Chinese government efforts to warn domestic companies away from Nvidia’s chips, The Information reported.

Nvidia asked Arizona-based Amkor Technology, which carries out advanced packaging work for the H20 chips, and Samsung Electronics, which makes memory for them, to stop production, the report said.

Separately, Reuters reported that Nvidia had asked Taiwanese contract electronics manufacturer Foxconn to suspend work on the H20 chips.
