AMD hits US roadblock in selling AI chip tailored for China: report
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has faced obstacles in selling an AI chip specifically designed for the Chinese market, as the US government tightens restrictions on the export of advanced technologies to Beijing. Despite being weaker than chips sold outside China, AMD's chip was deemed too powerful and requires a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security, according to sources. The move could hinder AMD's efforts to catch up with Nvidia in the AI market. The US government has been actively preventing the export of advanced AI chips to China to prevent the strengthening of its military capabilities.
