AMD Filing Reveals New AI Chip Facing US Sales Restrictions to China
- AMD lists an unannounced AI chip called the MI388X in an SEC filing, noting it cannot be sold to China due to US sanctions
- The MI388X is part of AMD's Instinct line of AI and HPC processors, but details are unknown other than it's for AI workloads
- AMD also cannot sell other Instinct chips like the MI250, MI300X, and MI300A to China due to the sanctions
- It's unclear if the recently leaked MI309 chip is related to the MI388X or if it will face similar sales restrictions
- AMD may have to further limit the MI309's capabilities to be able to sell it to Chinese customers without an export license
