US alerted by TSMC of possible use of its chip by Huawei
The Straits Times|October 24, 2024
NEW YORK – Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) notified the United States that one of its chips had been found in a Huawei product after tech research firm TechInsights took apart the product, a person familiar with the matter said, revealing a possible violation of export restrictions on the Chinese company.

The teardown was of Huawei's Ascend 910B, another source said. The 910B is viewed as the most advanced artificial intelligence chip available from a Chinese company. The first source would not identify the item, but said the TSMC chip was one within a multi-chip system.

TechInsights informed TSMC of the chip before publishing its findings in a report, the person said, prompting the Taiwanese firm to notify the US Commerce Department a couple of weeks ago.
