The memory HBM It is a type of memory that can Increase performance in accelerators used for Artificial intelligence.

At the moment there has not been made no decisionsince these strict controls can carry out retaliation by China and increase tension between both countries. From the United States government they are balancing the pros and cons in case of carrying out this new restriction.
