China BLOCKS the use of American AMD and Intel chips as tech
cold war intensifies

China will phase out chips made by Intel and Advanced Micro
Devices

The ban could wipe $1.5B off Intel and a few hundred million
of AMD in sales

It is the latest escalation in the tech cold war between
the two countries

.. . .

Bound to happen.

The US/EU banned certain China-made chips in their
devices, esp if used by govt/mil, so this is the
tit-4-tat.

China can now make perfectly good CPUs/GPUs of
its own - after stealing western designs for
decades. It doesn't need us anymore.

And, as was suggested from western bans, there IS
a chance of intelligence spyware embedded deeply
in the CPU designs. Intel chips are especially
complex, processors within processors within
processors - one set even ran an (insecure)
operating system of their own (Minix). That
caused big problems. In any case, it would be
easy to hide phone-home spyware in that mess.

A couple of weeks ago, it was discovered that
the giant cargo cranes China has sold to ports
across the world DO have "phone home" capabilities,
meaning China could probably track the source
and destination for every piece of significant
cargo in the relevant world, including mil stuff.
It was a very VERY clever spy tactic, "below
anyone's radar" so to speak.

Make headway at work. Continue to let things deteriorate at home.
