Definitions In this Act: (1) The term advanced AI semiconductor means a semiconductor that exceeds any of the following thresholds: (A) A total processing performance of 2,400 or a performance density of 1.6 or more. (B) A DRAM bandwidth exceeding 4,100 GB/s. (C) An interconnect bandwidth exceeding 1,100 GB/s. (D) A sum of DRAM bandwidth and interconnect bandwidth exceeding 5,100 GB/s. (2) The term People’s Republic of China means— (A) the territory of the People’s Republic of China, including Hong Kong and Macau; or (B) any entity that is owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, the Government of the People’s Republic of China or the Chinese Communist Party.
