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.
Sooo, all chips basically.
those fools forgot about lays 😎
Lays makes good chips. It’s too bad that they’re really only good for the data center market, since you can’t have just one.
They started making their own a while back.

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.
Woule be best case scenario for pretty much everyone except, well, all the companies currently in the space. And western global hegemony.
All empires will tumble
in… creasing?
better than outcreasing i guess
L!!! Mao
I wonder how long it’ll take for the next Stuxnet to hit Chinese and Russian lithography machines.
This must mean that they’re getting cheaper in the West now, right? Right?!
Chinese rejection -> “Supply chain issues” -> Price goes up. Again.
I laugh at your decadent Western technology!
That’s going to make things very difficult for them short-term. Medium-term too. Bets are still off on long-term.
They only need phones
To play diablo immortal.
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.
No 3dfx? Shame
While I appreciate the joke, they’re technically nVidia now
Do they have x86 alternative? Or are consumers still allowed to buy x86 computers? Unclear in article if ban for “businesses” is ban for businesses that make computers using the chips/boards to sell to others.
Has arm gotten good enough for desktops?
Yes they have comparable CPUs from Zhaoxin, which is joint owned by VIA and Chinese government.
Russia also has Baikal.
They do. But the performance is pretty bad
Bro the trade wars are already poping off. Problem is China has already snapped up the whole global souths market. (minus Australia and New Zealand.) the US and the west don’t have enough industry to compete. My god the economic collapse is going to reshape the west. Hopefully what happens after is a far left economic and political system because the far right plan will be to turn the trade war into an actual war to reclaim profits.
China is willing to let millions of it’s own people die to achieve its goals. The west doesn’t have enough blind dogmatic people in their militaries and governments to suppress civil unrest. We saw this in South Korea recently. The military just didn’t have the will to fire on their friends and families. So they just meekly followed orders until it was clear the conservative party wasn’t going to be able to maintain power. Hell half of South Korea slept through an attempted dictatorship and the ruling party still couldn’t hold power.

Australia and New Zealand are not on the global south, “global south” is not about the hemisphere.
Going to pay the pedantics game I see

In other news, Zilog stock sees unprecedented growth.
Precisely. They’ve finally stolen enough IP to make replicas of these banned chips and keep all the profits.
