台积电停止向涉嫌为华为代工的公司供应Ascend 910B芯片TSMC halts Ascend 910B shipments to firm suspected acting as a Huawei proxy
➀ 台积电已停止向被认为华为代工的Sophgo公司供应Ascend 910B芯片。➁ 尽管Sophgo否认与华为有任何联系，但台积电的行动是其发现Sophgo的芯片订单与Ascend 910B高度相似的结果。➂ 华为继续利用西方设计技术的策略，在试图规避制裁的同时受到审查。➀ TSMC has halted shipments of the Ascend 910B to Sophgo, a Chinese firm suspected of acting as a Huawei proxy. ➁ Despite Sophgo's denial of any Huawei links, TSMC's action is a result of discovering Sophgo's chip orders closely resembled the Ascend 910B. ➂ Huawei's strategy to use Western-designed technologies continues to be scrutinized as it attempts to circumvent sanctions.
TSMC has halted production shipments to Sophgo, a Chinese company believed to be acting as a proxy for Huawei in producing the Ascend 910B chip.
Despite Sophgo's claims of adhering to all legal requirements and maintaining no direct business ties with Huawei, the discovery that Sophgo's chip orders closely resemble the Ascend 910B, originally developed by TSMC, led to TSMC's decision to halt shipments.
Huawei's strategy of leveraging Western-designed technologies while attempting to avoid direct supplier conflicts is under scrutiny. The company often employs indirect purchasing of chips or wafers, using third parties to secure necessary components, and then obscuring these connections.
While the U.S. Department of Commerce acknowledged the breach of export restrictions, it did not comment on any ongoing investigation. Sophgo's supply chain connections have attracted attention due to potential export control violations.
