US bans sales of 14nm and 16nm chips with over 30 billion transistors to China
But there will be exceptions.
The title is missing the very important "or more advanced"
made on 14nm or 16nm process technologies or more advanced
I was wondering how a 14nm chip would have 30 billion transistors lol, it would have to be a full wafer-sized chip (which has been done but I don't think it's been done on such old nodes)
bring me a bucket!
Seems to be squarely aimed at GPUs.
AMD's Zen+ 1700X (with no iGPU) has 4.8 billion transistors. 1080 Ti has 11.8 billion.
Even the latest Apple CPU doesn't hit 30 billion:
This will happen shortly, as Apple's M4 system-on-chip for mainstream PCs is already at 28 billion transistors.
For a more modern consumer level cpu with igpu, the 9950x3d has 16.6 billion transistors.
But the AMD epyc9000 series have 39 billion transistors on the smallest entry level server chips
