Timeline (last 90 days)
The US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administers semiconductor equipment through lists under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), with advanced logic chips (such as 7 nanometers and below) placed in the highest control tier, while memory chips such as NAND and DRAM are generally not regarded as the areas most directly related to national security.
In October 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued its first comprehensive measures restricting the sale of advanced AI chips to China, setting compute thresholds using TOPS and interconnect bandwidth as metrics.
