Strategic partnerships fuel expansion
NVIDIA announced major 2025 collaborations, reinforcing ecosystem dominance across multiple sectors. Regional AI ecosystems include partnerships with governments and corporations to develop AI capabilities. Notable examples include collaboration with Foxconn and Taiwan’s government for a supercomputer factory powered by 10,000 Blackwell GPUs, plus significant deals across Europe and the Middle East, including 18,000 GB300 Blackwell chips for Saudi Arabia’s Humain.
In automotive, NVIDIA’s DRIVE platform will power next-generation self-driving features for Toyota and Aurora/Continental vehicles. Healthcare partnerships with IQVIA, Illumina, and Mayo Clinic accelerate drug discovery, genomic research, and digital pathology using AI and accelerated computing platforms
US government revenue-sharing agreement on China sales
A significant development emerged in August 2025 where NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) agreed to share 15% of revenues from specific AI chip sales to China in exchange for export licences. This arrangement allows NVIDIA to resume H20 AI chip sales designed for the Chinese market to comply with earlier export controls.
The financial impact warrants attention. While China represents 13% of NVIDIA’s revenue by customer billing location in FY 2025, actual contribution may be higher due to trans-shipment orders. Assuming restriction removal doubles China sales while other regions remain flat, this could boost NVIDIA’s revenue by over 10%.
The benefits are expected to outweigh the 15% government levy, which could reduce total revenue by approximately 3% if China’s share of sales rises to 25%.
