AMD hits US roadblock in selling AI chip tailored for China
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has faced a setback in its attempt to sell an artificial intelligence chip tailored for the Chinese market. The US Commerce Department refused the company's request to export the chip due to concerns over the advanced technology falling into Chinese hands. The chip, which has lower performance than the international versions, was specifically designed to comply with US export restrictions. However, US officials deemed it still too powerful and require AMD to obtain a license to sell it in China.
