- U.S. officials prohibit AMD's AI chip sales to China
- Intriguingly, AMD may move ahead with the planned sales if it acquires a license.
- AMD's rivalry with Nvidia gets hit.
As the global race for A.I. paces each day, firms developing and fostering services related to artificial intelligence appear to be encountering new challenges daily. Amid this constant tussle orbiting A.I. development and pioneering this industry, AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), a tech giant, recently faced hurdles orbiting A.I. chip sales to China.
According to a report, U.S. officials barred the sale of AMD’s A.I. chip tailored for China, deeming it too powerful to sell without a license. This showcases the ensnaring of another American semiconductor company with Washington’s heightened scrutiny on exports of advanced technologies.
AMD To Get Licensed Approved For AI-Chip Sales In China
Intriguingly, sources familiar with the matter claimed that AMD was optimistic about scoring approval from the U.S. Commerce Department, eyeing the selling of its A.I. processor to Chinese customers since it performs at a lower level than what the company sells outside China. However, the U.S. regulators stated AMD must secure a license from Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security if the firm wants to conduct sales of these chips. This decision garnered significant nationwide attention, aligning with the Biden administration’s previously introduced export controls to curb China’s access to advanced semiconductor technologies.
Meanwhile, AMD refused to comment on the matter, showcasing an unclear stance on whether the firm promptly plans to seek a license. The Bureau of Industry and Security also declined to comment on the matter. While in the interim, AMD shares noted a drop following the announcement’s surfacing.
