US officials have told Advanced Micro Devices Inc. that the artificial intelligence chip it tailored for the Chinese market is too powerful to sell without a license from the Commerce Department, throwing up a roadblock for the company as it tries to navigate Washington’s crackdown on exports of advanced technologies.

Advanced Micro Devices got a show of support last week when Elon Musk said he would buy its chips to power artificial-intelligence efforts at Tesla. Wall Street is betting its earnings will provide further proof of AMD’s AI chip potential.

AMD reported third-quarter earnings on Tuesday.

Microsoft’s Chief Technology Officers Kevin Scott said AMD’s graphics cards will be increasingly critical in the years to come.
