Bureau of Industry and Security — key-event: Expanded chip export controls, closing loopholes exploited by Nvidia's A800/H800 China-specific chips
The source directly confirms the key elements of the claim: (1) BIS issued expanded chip export controls in October 2023, (2) these controls specifically addressed the A800 and H800 China-specific chips from Nvidia that exploited loopholes from the 2022 controls, (3) the update involved updated performance thresholds (shifted from interconnect bandwidth to performance density and total processing performance), and (4) expanded equipment restrictions (nine new ECCNs introduced). The timing (October 2023 = 2023-10) and all substantive details match the claim.
