This reads like fake news. No publication date, no sources listed, very vague and self-contradictory on the details. How is no other news outlet corroborating this?
I’d take this one with a huge grain of salt.
Maybe they will be investing towards RISC-V chips?
They already have.
Good. Pump that up. I want to be able to run my favorite open OS on open hardware.
Worth noting that just because a CPU uses the RISC-V instruction set does not make it open hardware; it just makes it possible for it to be open hardware, but it’s still up to the copyright holder to release the source files and design as open source.
Sooo, all chips basically.
those fools forgot about lays 😎
Reflexively thought this was the onion. Can someone explain yo me how this isn’t idiocy?
China’s a big market, and banning three major brands from being used means those brands will fight against Trump’s trade war so they can get access to the market again. There’s no way Intel, AMD, and Nvidia will be happy to lose all that money.
Will they really lose much money though? Chip makers (NVIDIA especially) have practically been able to sell everything they can produce since before the start of COVID, so I doubt they will lose a lot from this
The Chinese consumer market is larger than the US and EU markets, and is growing, not shrinking. On top of that the Chinese business market is growing and is growing extremely quickly. The backbone of either market in the 21st century is computerized goods.
This is also a sign that the multiple domestic architectures are good enough to act as drop in replacements for at least government work, so business and consumer uses aren’t too far behind.
