Intel (INTC, Financial), the renowned chip manufacturer, has informed its Chinese clients that a license will now be required to sell certain advanced AI processors. This move aligns with recent reports indicating similar restrictions for Nvidia's (NVDA) H20 chips, which also need a license to be exported to China.
These regulatory measures reflect a growing trend where tech companies are navigating governmental requirements to manage advanced technology flows between the United States and China. This action is part of a broader strategy affecting global tech companies dealing with sophisticated AI technologies.
