China Cuts the Cord: AMD & Intel Snubbed from Approved Processor List

Intel and AMD are MIA on China’s CPU VIP list, but homegrown tech’s the new A-list. Say nǐ hǎo to local chips and bye-bye to Western silicon slips! #ProcessorPolitics 🇨🇳💻🚫

Hot Take:

It's like a high-stakes game of tech musical chairs, and when the music stops, AMD and Intel are left standing without a seat in China's processor party. Beijing's latest CPU RSVP list is an all-local affair, and it seems the x86 architecture is only welcome if it's wearing a "Made in China" badge. Local tech soirees are all the rage, and Western tech is so last season, at least according to China's Information Security Evaluation Center.
