But the real focus will be on whether widening U.S. curbs on sales of its high-end chips to China could hamper that run. The results will also be a major test for the AI-powered rally that has helped drive up the U.S. stock market this year, with the Philadelphia semiconductor index (.SOX) up nearly 50% in 2023. The Biden administration last month banned China sales of the H800 and A800 chips that Nvidia had created after previous curbs on exports to the country. Reuters GraphicsCHINA CHIPSBefore the latest China export curbs, demand for Nvidia's H800 chip, a slower version of its flagship AI chip, had outpaced rivals as it was better than the alternatives. "It's possible Nvidia's massive growth will make revenue from China less material over time," Morningstar analysts said.

The new restrictions will also affect rival chips produced by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O) and Intel (INTC.O), according to analysts. In its filing, Nvidia said two of its modified advanced AI chips - the A800 and H800 - both of which it created for the Chinese market to comply with previous export rules, would be blocked for sale under the new rules. Nvidia declined to comment beyond the filing. Chips being built by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices that aim to compete with Nvidia will also be impacted. Intel declined to comment on the Gaudi 2 chip and said it was assessing the new rules.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/IllustrationAug 3 (Reuters) - Qualcomm (QCOM.O) tumbled nearly 9% on Thursday after a gloomy forecast signalled more pain for the largest maker of smartphone chips from the ongoing slump in the consumer electronics market. The stock has risen 19% this year, but has underperformed the broader chip industry (.SOX) on worries about smartphone demand. The company disappointed investors on Wednesday with a current-quarter revenue forecast that was below market estimates, as well as adjusted sales that missed expectations. "Huawei headwinds are new (and larger than we would have thought), and (Qualcomm) stock is admittedly un-sexy," Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon said. Qualcomm has a 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio of 14.05, much lower than Nvidia's (NVDA.O) 43.94 and the industry median of 20.51.
