The Biden administration is proposing measures aimed at limiting China’s ability to use an advanced chip architecture known as gate all-around (GAA). Bloomberg, which broke the story citing anonymous sources, did not mention what those potential measures entail. The timing of any final decision also remains uncertain. The primary objective, per the report, is to hinder China’s capacity to develop sophisticated computing systems essential for constructing and operating artificial intelligence (AI) before it becomes widely available. The measures are not expected to constitute a complete ban on GAA chip exports. They would instead target the technology required to manufacture them. There are also preliminary discussions about restricting exports of high-bandwidth memory chips. These chips, produced by companies such as SK Hynix Inc. and Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU), accelerate memory access and enhance AI accelerators. ...
