The United States has ordered the world’s largest chip maker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, to stop supplying Chinese customers with advanced chips often used in artificial intelligence applications.
About this informs Reuters with reference to its own sources.
According to the source, the US Department of Commerce sent TSMC a letter imposing export restrictions on certain complex microcircuits with a 7-nanometer or better process destined for China, which are used in artificial intelligence accelerators and graphics processing units (GPUs).
The restrictions should come into effect on Monday, November 11.
The announcement comes just weeks after TSMC notified the Commerce Department that one of its chips had been found in a Huawei AI processor. Research firm Tech Insights took apart the product and found the TSMC chip to be an apparent export control violation.
As reported last month, TSMC suspended shipments to Chinese chip maker Sophgo after its chip matched one found in a Huawei AI processor.
We will remind:
TSMC notified USA that chips manufactured by Huawei were found in Huawei products. This became known after the research company TechInsight analyzed one of the products of the Chinese company.
