Reference Message Network reported on June 14 according to a report on the website of German "Handelsblatt" on June 13, Mark Papermaster, CTO of chip manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), criticized the US government's semiconductor export control measures targeting China. Papermaster said, "History shows that such export controls will only lead the other side to seek alternatives."
"This is not speculation. We are already seeing this now. Chinese startups and large enterprises like Huawei have made impressive achievements. Due to growing demand, they have no choice."
On June 12, Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, also talked about export restrictions. She said, "We look forward to serving the Chinese market."
She mentioned that discussions are currently underway with the US government to ensure that the restrictions are implemented within the "right framework." Su said this is not an issue that can be resolved immediately. She advocates promoting US artificial intelligence technology globally.
She expects the global AI chip market size to exceed $500 billion by 2028.
The background of this discussion is the strict US export control measures. The Biden administration is attempting to use these measures to prevent key artificial intelligence technologies from reaching competitors like China. So far, the Trump administration has largely continued these measures.
The leading companies in the artificial intelligence chip market, NVIDIA and its main competitor AMD, have been affected the most. NVIDIA expects to lose $5.5 billion this year, while AMD is expected to lose $1.5 billion. In May, Su had stated that the Chinese market provided a "huge opportunity." (Translated by Song Yuhao)
