@refalo @yogthos China has a single CPU manufacturer with an x86 licence, Zhaoxin. Their offerings don't rival AMD or Intel upper end, but they've been around for ages and are widely used in China.
doesn't that still mean they are dependent on the West technically?
In it's roots, yes. But the architecture isn't banned, just the chips. As an analogy, China can make its own internal combustion engines and not buy Ford cars.
I meant, if they require a license to keep making x86 chips, what's to stop Intel/the US from revoking it later on?
At this point the licencing is only about Intel getting money, not about China being allowed to produce the chips, me thinks
