TAIPEI -- Intel wants to supply as many of its chips as it can to China, CEO Pat Gelsinger said on Tuesday, warning that overly strict U.S. export controls would only spur Asia's leading economy to develop its own semiconductors.

"We're continuing to pursue exporting all of our products to China, and we're continuing to make products like Gaudi available," Gelsinger told a press conference at the Computex tech trade show in Taipei on Tuesday. Gaudi chips are Intel's accelerators for artificial intelligence computing.
