TSMC Ends Ties with PowerAIR Amid US Export Control Concerns
Jan 11, 2025, 07:27 AM
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has severed its relationship with PowerAIR, a Singapore-based firm, following a client review. The decision was prompted by the discovery of a TSMC chip in a Huawei artificial intelligence (AI) processor, which raised concerns about a potential breach of US export controls. TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, has not supplied products to Huawei since 2020 due to US sanctions. This move reflects TSMC’s increased scrutiny of its clients to ensure compliance with US export controls and international regulations. Neither TSMC nor Huawei has commented on the matter, and PowerAIR remains unavailable for comment.
