TSMC to stop supplying advanced AI processors for all of its China customers: Report


Chips at 7nm and below are affected.

Sources with knowledge of the matter reportedly told Ijiwei that future supplies of advanced AI processors to China-based entities would require some kind of approval process, which likely involves specialists from the U.S. Department of Commerce. TSMC's new restrictions reflect both a desire to strengthen its own internal controls and to prepare for expected U.S. export limitations on chip sales to China before President Biden's term ends. In an official statement, TSMC did not outright confirm that it had sent the aforementioned email to its Chinese clients, but it emphasized its commitment to being a 'law-abiding company,' dedicated to adhering to all relevant rules and regulations, including export control requirements.
