China bans Intel and AMD CPUs in government computers

According to WCCFTech , the Chinese government has just made a controversial decision to ban the use of Intel and AMD CPUs in government computers. This move is said to be aimed at protecting national security and promoting domestic technology development, but it 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 could collect sensitive data from government computers and use it for espionage purposes. However, many experts suspect that this is just an excuse for China to promote the use of CPUs made in China.

The new ban, which takes effect in March 2024, applies to all government computers, including those used in the military .

Banning Intel and AMD CPUs could have a major impact on both of the world's leading chip manufacturers, as China is the largest chip consumption market for Intel and AMD and losing this market could significantly reduce the revenue of the two companies.

On the other hand, the ban could also benefit some Chinese companies. Domestic CPU makers like Huawei and Phytium are likely to take advantage of this opportunity to increase their market share in the country of a billion people.

China's ban on Intel and AMD CPUs is the latest development in the increasingly tense tech war between the US and China. It's hard to predict the long-term consequences of the ban, but it could lead to major changes in the global tech market.
