A day ago, Bloomberg confidently reported that the computing capabilities of the Chinese company's Biren BR100 gas pedals are slightly worse than NVIDIA A100, and therefore the US sanctions will not prevent their further production.
Today, the source sharply changed the rhetoric, saying that TSMC decided to suspend the shipment of these 7nm gas pedals to Chinese customers.Image source: Biren TechnologyIn summer, Biren Technology was not shy about stating that its BR100 gas pedal could challenge the NVIDIA A100.
Features of Chinese product were really impressive: 77 billion transistors, 7nm process technology and spatial layout of 2.5D CoWoS, 64 GB of memory, support for PCI Express 5.0 and CXL interfaces.
However, when speaking about a new wave of anti-Chinese sanctions, Biren representatives preferred to remain anonymous and claimed that their chip does not meet NVIDIA A100 level and therefore would not fall under new export tunnels.
Today Bloomberg reports that TSMC refused to take risks and stopped production of Biren Technology 7nm chip gas pedals.
The Taiwanese contractor still hasn't come to a final conclusion about the belonging of Biren products to the banned category of products, but the shipments will be stopped \"just in case\".
Biren gas pedals are designed to work in machine vision systems, processing of natural speech and its synthesis using artificial intelligence.
Representatives of the Chinese company have not yet commented on the news, according to Bloomberg.
