Analyst Dylan Patel of SemiAnalysis alleges AMD committed treason by enabling the sale of restricted military-grade AMD Zynq UltraScale+ XCZU47DR RFSoC chips in China for roughly $1,000, compared to a U.S. list price of $36,000. Patel claims China's Puzhi Electronic Technology is crowdfunding a system using these dual-use components, which require U.S. export licenses for China. While AMD denies direct sales and states it investigates diversion cases, the chips are available to Chinese entities via Group B license exceptions. The incident highlights how dual-use silicon bypasses national security sanctions through third-party supply chains, as Puzhi plans to ship its system by November 6, 2026.
