increase the haste with which China develops their own processors

decline of the US economy. <br>

Another case of unintended consequences from US foreign policy?
Only time will tell. <br>

According to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.vrworld.com/2015/04/07/usa-shocks-intel-ban-on-china-xeon-supercomputers/"
target="_blank">http://www.vrworld.com/2015/04/07/usa-shocks-intel-ban-on-china-xeon-supercomputers/</a>,<br>
the US government has placed the 4 major China Supercomputer
Centers<br>
on the “Denial List,” which prevents “high technology from
the USA” to<br>
be sold to these sites. On claims that they are believed to
be engaged<br>
in activities related to nuclear explosives.<br>
<br>
I guess it means no Phi-based Tianhe-3 in the near future,
and a clear<br>
path for China to fund the development of their own lines of<br>
processors.<br>
<br>
If that's confirmed, that would be a big loss for Intel,
both in the<br>
short and longer terms. That after Summit, that looks like a
lot to<br>
take in.<br>
<br>
