While stripping China's access to key U.S. artificial intelligence chips, the Biden administration's sweeping new rules also quietly threw Nvidia (NVDA.O), Intel (INTC.O) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) (AMD.O) a potential lifeline to preserve lucrative business in one of the world's biggest chip markets.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 18 - While stripping China's access to key U.S. artificial intelligence chips, the Biden administration's sweeping new rules also quietly threw Nvidia, officials at the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security said they are open to the semiconductor industry's input for finding ways to keep sending AI chips to China for small and medium-sized systems.
U.S. officials asked for input in devising a "tamperproof" way to keep systems that might contain up to 256 AI chips from being strung together into a supercomputer. The other primary gift that U.S. officials gave Nvidia, Intel and AMD was hobbling their most capable Chinese competitors. "What they're really doing is closing all the doors," TechInsights analyst Dan Hutcheson said, adding the new rules close off a substantial amount of potential future developments. "They're basically trying to future-proof the document."
