            According to <a moz-do-not-send="true"

            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>
