China's Dongfang Suanxin Bypasses US Chip Bans
A 3D chip architecture allows Dongfang Suanxin to compete with Nvidia using older, unrestricted manufacturing nodes. This design circumvents Washington's tightening export controls on advanced semiconductors. The startup targets high-performance AI processing without relying on banned cutting-edge nodes. It provides a concrete blueprint for Chinese firms to maintain compute scaling despite trade restrictions.
