On June 2, Rene Haas, CEO of British chip design company Arm, stated during an exhibition in Taipei that blocking the export of central processing units (CPUs) usable for artificial intelligence to China would be extremely challenging due to the wide range of applications for CPUs, making it difficult to distinguish which are specifically designed for AI. He pointed out that if the United States attempts to impose such restrictions, it would have to limit the export of all CPUs, which would be even more difficult than controlling AI chips. Arm also announced on the same day that ByteDance and Oracle have become new customers for its AGI CPUs, and it expects strong demand for the chip, with annual revenue reaching approximately $15 billion over the next five years.
