According to WCCFTech, the Chinese government has just made a controversial decision to ban the use of Intel and AMD CPUs in computers belonging to government agencies. This move is said to be aimed at protecting national security and promoting domestic technology development, but could also lead to a new technology war between the US and China.
The official reason for the ban is privacy and national security concerns. The Chinese government claims that Intel and AMD can collect sensitive data from government computers and use this data for espionage purposes. However, many experts suspect this is just an excuse for China to promote the use of CPUs produced by this country.
The new ban takes effect from March 3.2024, applying to all government computers, including computers used in the military field.
China begins banning the use of Intel and AMD CPUs in government computers
Banning Intel and AMD CPUs could greatly affect both of the world's leading chip manufacturers, because China is the largest chip consumption market for Intel and AMD and the loss of this market could cause businesses to The revenue of the two companies decreased significantly.
On the contrary, this ban may also benefit some Chinese companies. Domestic CPU manufacturers such as Huawei and Phytium will likely take advantage of this opportunity to increase their market share in the billion-people country's market.
China's ban on Intel and AMD CPUs is a new development in the increasingly tense technology war between the US and China. It is difficult to predict the long-term consequences of this ban, but it could lead to major changes in the global technology market.
