Move to suspend 7 nm and smaller processes follows US pressure

Semiconductor giant TSMC is expected to stop supplying chips made with 7 nm or smaller processes to customers in China that are developing AI processors or GPUs. The move is reportedly to ensure it remains compliant with US export restrictions.

TrendForce further cites another China-based source who claims the move was at the behest of the US Department of Commerce, which informed TSMC that any such shipments should not proceed unless approved and licensed by its BIS . We asked the agency for confirmation.
