Matrix Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Intel won't be pleased The big picture: With the US and China in the middle of trade war, the Asian nation is trying to move away from its reliance on American companies and develop its own chips. As such, Chinese manufacturer Hygon has reportedly started production of the Chinese-designed “Dhyana” x86 processors, which are based on AMD’s Zen Microarchitecture. Tom’s Hardware reports that the processors are the result of an x86 IP licensing deal between AMD and its Chinese partners. While the US giant said it does not sell final chip designs to these China-based firms, it allows them to design their own processors made specifically for the country’s server market. The Dhyana chips are said to be virtually identical to AMD’s EPYC CPUs, with the only difference being the unique vendor IDs and family series numbers. The US has introduced rules relating to company mergers and acquisitions that obstruct China from developing its own chips, yet despite these regulations, AMD announced a joint venture in China back in 2016 that would see processors based on its own CPUs developed in the country. The deal added $293 million to the US firm’s coffers, and AMD will also receive loyalties based on future unit sales. The agreement states that the final products, which must be “specifically tailored to the needs of the Chinese server market," can only be sold inside of China. To stay within legal boundaries, an elaborate setup of multiple ownership and licensing agreements between AMD and its Chinese partners are in place. Ultimately, Hygon’s chips are bad news for Intel. The Made In China 2025 initiative, which aims to turn the country from the world’s factory into a global technology leader, has seen investment and incentives offered to local chip producers as a way of increasing domestic production. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 10, 2018 Administrator Share Posted July 10, 2018 Just servers. I thought it would be desktop processors too. Just like Intel has entered the GPU market, it's high time more companies enter the CPU market too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like any of the open internet can visit any of the websites that these servers powers no how because of the great firewall of China and also Google censors many Chinese websites from Hong Kong as well back some years ago the web was not like this they were Chinese crack sites serving up scene cracks like they was software on majorgeeks with direct links . Once Google and China got into it this all changed .. Also they talking about Chinese Servers when baidu (Beijing Baidu Netcom Science and Technology Co., Ltd.) is using a USA IP and not China. The web did not grow in websites in 2017 it lost 311,000 and only a billion dollar companies like Intel and AMD would care about statistics of servers in a closed internet market that the open internet will never benefit from it says above these servers will only be sold in China witch is behind the Great Firewall. I wonder what kind of Government backdoor AMD must put there cpus for China they all done it for the USA any AMD chip past 2011 has back doors. They a whole lot of Chinese propaganda news out this year because of the way things are with trade now, so i take most news about them with a grain of salt , just like the other day they put news out that the EU was going side with China in the trade war before they even asked the EU. And when they asked the EU they said there was no way they was going take sides against the USA. The ominous economic power of Chinese propaganda https://qz.com/1309602/chinese-propaganda-is-a-weapon-more-powerful-than-tariffs-in-the-trade-war-with-the-us/ The biggest problem is people believe everything they read even from a country that have the worlds largest propaganda machine. I remember seeing on the news years ago on how they built all kinds of condos in China too make it look like China had this great economy but in reality it was a ghost town were no one even lived in there well known to only let investors see what they want them to see . They stage things like a screenplay like in a movie. People dont want to accept the truth because it's not pretty, that the whole Global economy is fixing to stall along with China and most of it was there own doing. Quote China economy is in trouble, primarily trouble of its own making it but Trump attack definitely makes it worse. Only problem is if China engine stalls, global economy will experience significant fin mkt & industrial pain that will not be relieved this year or next -https://twitter.com/Halsrethink/status/1016195151981473793 Building stuff for China only were people works for peanuts is not importing goods were there economy depends on. Now all the companies going too start building for China who's going to buy the goods? In my country we been supporting there economy every since the jobs left from here and went to China many years ago. Who's going to pay for all these new plants to build things for China only and can they even sell over there ? Most plants in China were designed for importing mostly for most of the 21st century .
