Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company suspended shipments to China-based chip designer Sophgo after a chip it made was found on a Huawei AI processor, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Sophgo had ordered chips from TSMC that matched the one found on Huawei’s Ascend 910B, the people said. Huawei is restricted from buying the technology to protect U.S. national security. Reuters could not determine how the chip ended up on the Huawei product.
Tech research firm TechInsights discovered the TSMC chip on Huawei’s Ascend 910B when it took apart the multi-chip processor, a different source told Reuters on Tuesday. Alerted to the finding, about two weeks ago TSMC notified the U.S., the source said.
So… you’re saying calling a productized die a “chip” is inappropriate? I think you’d be in the minority.
Sorry about your illiteracy
That is not very friendly.
Anyway, here’s a picture of what I believe is a multi-chip processor.
That’s something else entirely. It literally even says “chiplet” at the top. It is a collection of discrete processor chips.
These have existed before the term “chiplet”.
I know that SIP isn’t anything new, but it’s still not what “processor” brings to mind. It’s a package or a module, and it could comprise one or more processors.

It’s fucking hilarious when people are so confidently and aggressively wrong like this.
Sure, ignore the professional.
Professional at chatting bollocks, perhaps.
