Investing.com-- The U.S. Commerce Department has launched a probe into TSMC (NYSE:TSM) over whether the chipmaking giant breached export rules by making smartphone or artificial intelligence chips for China’s Huawei, The Information reported on Thursday.
The department had contacted TSMC in recent weeks to enquire over any production for Huawei, the report said.
Huawei was blacklisted by the U.S. in 2020 over national security concerns, blocking it from buying chips made using American equipment. The restrictions also prevent Huawei from making its own chips using U.S. technology without approval from the Commerce Department.
Recent bipartisan efforts by U.S. politicians have attempted to block Huawei entirely from buying American chipmaking equipment, over its ties to the Chinese military.
Huawei has so far claimed all its advanced chips are sourced from China’s Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (HK:0981)- the country’s biggest chipmaker. It had last year launched a phone with an advanced 7-nanometer chip made by SMIC, with the processor lauded as a major breakthrough for Chinese firms.
Beyond Huawei, the U.S. had over the past two years introduced strict curbs blocking Chinese companies from accessing the most advanced AI chips and technology. Firms such as NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), which make the most cutting edge AI chips, cannot sell them to China.
TSMC is the world’s biggest contract chipmaker and is a key player in the chip supply chain. It is a key supplier of advanced chips used in the AI and smartphone industries. Earlier this week, the firm clocked stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings on robust AI-fueled demand for chips.
Investing.com－根據《The Information》週四報道，美國商務部已對台積電（NYSE：TSM）發起調查，調查這家晶片製造巨頭為中國華為生產智慧型手機或人工智慧晶片是否違反出口規定。
報道稱，該部門最近幾週已聯繫台積電，詢問是否有為華為生產的產品。
2020年，華為因國家安全問題被美國列入黑名單，禁止其購買使用美國設備製造的晶片。這些限制也阻止華為在未經商務部批准的情況下使用美國技術製造自己的晶片。
心得/評論：
才剛大漲就出這個新聞
是出貨還是進貨呢？
川普上台會不會覺得台積電太肥可以殺一下？
