From PC Mag: Apple and Nvidia chip producer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp has stopped chip sales to a suspicious buyer after TSMC chips ended up in Huawei Ascend 910B AI processors, according to an unnamed Taiwanese official.
The 910B is a "multi-chiplet" processor, meaning it contains more than one chip and is designed for handling AI applications.
The buyer whose purchases reportedly ended up in Huawei processors has not yet been named. TSMC has not yet revealed the buyer's name to the Taiwanese government, according to another official.
Roughly two weeks ago, TSMC stopped selling chips to the buyer in question, according to a trade and economic official that spoke with Reuters. TSMC notified the US government that one of its chips had made it into a Huawei product just days after a report indicated the Department of Commerce was investigating TSMC.
