AMD's AI chip for China faces US government licensing restriction due to export restrictions.

AMD faces a US government roadblock in selling an AI chip tailored for China due to US export restrictions. The US Commerce Department has informed AMD that its AI processor, designed with lower performance than AMD's other offerings, still requires a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security to be sold in China. This move is part of Washington's crackdown on exporting advanced technologies to China, as the US seeks to prevent Beijing from gaining a military edge.
