The Brigitte MeyerUS government is considering additional restrictions on China’s access to advanced chip technology used in AI, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. The potential measures aim to limit China’s ability to utilize a cutting-edge chip architecture known as gate all-around (GAA), the report said. GAA transistor architecture enhances chip performance and reduces power consumption. The specifics of the proposed rules are still under discussion, and it is unclear when a final decision will be made, according to the media outlet’s sources. Major semiconductor companies Nvidia, Intel, AMD, TSMC, and Samsung are planning to begin mass production of GAA-designed chips next year, the report added. [Bloomberg]
