Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company suspended shipments to China-based chip designer Sophgo after a chip it made was found on a Huawei AI processor, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Sophgo had ordered chips from TSMC that matched the one found on Huawei’s Ascend 910B, the people said. Huawei is restricted from buying the technology to protect U.S. national security. Reuters could not determine how the chip ended up on the Huawei product.

Tech research firm TechInsights discovered the TSMC chip on Huawei’s Ascend 910B when it took apart the multi-chip processor, a different source told Reuters on Tuesday. Alerted to the finding, about two weeks ago TSMC notified the U.S., the source said.

      Lemmy.world’s rules do prevent one from name calling or general as hominem, but since you decided to; Do you have anything to actually add to the discussion or are you so bigoted that anyone speaking positively about a Chinese person overrides any self preservation instinct and you just need to announce to the world that you’re a bigot and leave it at that?
