It's also funny because this will just increase the haste with which
China develops their own processors to compete with US-sourced ones,
which, in theory could hasten the decline of the US economy.
Another case of unintended consequences from US foreign policy? Only
time will tell.

Such a ban is kind of humorous when you consider that a large
percentage of Xeon production goes to China where they are integrated
into systems built by the contract manufacturers (Foxconn, Quanta, etc).

Hi all,
According to
http://www.vrworld.com/2015/04/07/usa-shocks-intel-ban-on-china-xeon-supercomputers/,
the US government has placed the 4 major China Supercomputer Centers
on the “Denial List,” which prevents “high technology from the USA” to
be sold to these sites. On claims that they are believed to be engaged
in activities related to nuclear explosives.
I guess it means no Phi-based Tianhe-3 in the near future, and a clear
path for China to fund the development of their own lines of
processors.
If that's confirmed, that would be a big loss for Intel, both in the
short and longer terms. That after Summit, that looks like a lot to
take in.
Cheers,
