TSMC will reportedly stop making advanced AI chips for Chinese companies

TSMC has notified its Chinese customers that it will no longer make chips for them if they're 7 nanometers and smaller, according to the Financial Times.

It was a violation of the trade sanctions the US Commerce Department had imposed against Huawei way back in 2020 that prevented it from acquiring chips made by foreign firms. The Times' sources said that TSMC made the decision to suspend the production of AI chips for Chinese clients altogether, because it wants to show the US government that it's "not acting against US interests." BioWare had told Mass Effect fans to expect a quiet N7 day without any updates on the new game in the works, but there is still some exciting news for the franchise today.
