In a sign that the United States government\u2019s export restrictions<\/a> on semiconductor sales to Russia due to its war against Ukraine have been enacted swiftly, multiple<\/a> reports<\/a> have emerged today that both Intel and AMD have suspended chip sales to Russia. In addition, reports have also emerged that TSMC\u2019s decision to participate in the sanctions will thwart Russia\u2019s supply of homegrown chips<\/a>. We have reached out to Intel, AMD, and Nvidia for comment.<\/p>\n

The Russian media outlets also claim that the suspensions have been confirmed by the Association of Russian Developers and Electronics Manufacturers (ARPE). Additionally, Chinese IT companies are said to have been notified by Intel that sales to Russia have been banned.<\/p>\n

The extent of the halted sales is currently unclear. The new export restrictions are primarily aimed at chips for military purposes or dual-use chips that could be used for both civilian and military purposes. That means sales of most consumer-focused chips, like AMD\u2019s Ryzen and Intel\u2019s Core chips, likely won\u2019t be impacted. However, it is widely expected that there will be a temporary halt for all <\/em>semiconductor sales to Russia as companies work to decide which products are impacted. Additionally, the US DoC has added 49 Russian companies to the Entity List<\/a>, and those companies aren\u2019t eligible to purchase any type of chip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
