☆ Huawei: US revokes some export licenses for selling semiconductors to Chinese company
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-08 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

A fourth person said some of the companies were notified on Tuesday that their licenses were revoked effective immediately. The U.S. Commerce Department earlier in the day confirmed it had revoked some licenses but stopped short of naming the companies. “We have revoked certain licenses for exports to Huawei,” the Commerce Department said in a statement, declining to specify which ones it had withdrawn. The move could hurt Huawei, which still relies on Intel chips to power its laptops, and could hurt US suppliers that do business with the company. In a regulatory filing earlier this month, Qualcomm said it did not expect to receive more chip revenue from Huawei beyond this year.

☆ Billions in Chips Grants Are Expected to Fuel Industry Growth, Report Finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-08 | by ( Madeleine Ngo | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Billions in federal subsidies for semiconductor manufacturers are expected to help reverse a decades-long decline in America’s share of global chip manufacturing. As a result, America’s share of world chip manufacturing is expected to rise for the first time in decades, to 14 percent by 2032, up from about 10 percent today. The report found that much of the industry’s growth would be fueled by the bipartisan CHIPS Act, which gave the Commerce Department $39 billion to encourage semiconductor manufacturing in the United States. Absent that legislation, America’s share of global chip manufacturing would have fallen to 8 percent by 2032, according to the report. The United States is also expected to see a substantial boost in the domestic production of advanced logic chips, which are used in artificial intelligence, smartphones and autonomous vehicles.

☆ Apple is reportedly developing chips to run artificial intelligence software in data centers
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-07 | by ( Dylan Butts | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Apple has been developing chips to run artificial intelligence software in data centers, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. Project ACDC (Apple Chips in Data Center), which has been in the works for several years, has no clear timeline, WSJ reported, citing people familiar with the matter. WSJ said Apple's server chip will likely be focused on AI inference, rather than on training AI models — an area which experts have said will continue to be dominated by American chip giant Nvidia. In AI, inference is the process that trained machine learning models use to draw conclusions from brand-new data. Other large tech companies, such as Google, have invested in the development of their own AI inference server chips as part of efforts to untether themselves from chip designers.
