I’ll assume that Loongson are equally as backdoored, but by Chinese intelligence rather than US intelligence.
RISC-V and OpenPOWER are the last remaining non-user-hostile ISAs. That and possibly old x86.
If Intel happens to potentially go under by losing China, the US government coming in would be convenient for both parties.
So Intel’s in a funny position where they can actually pressure China for more economic incentives like subsidies or tax breaks
How much did Intel spent on share buybacks?
What about R&D
Lolwut
Look it up. The latest generation of Intel chips have incredibly egregious issues.
If you think you’re owning the Chinese by supporting Intel, you’re very misguided. Instead, you should be hoping for RISC-V to catch on because closed architectures are vastly more vulnerable to exploitation. They represent an unknown tech stack which is a no-no for anyone who actually values freedom, privacy, and liberty. They also cost tens of millions to create while RISC-V costs significantly less since it doesn’t require a company to buy a million dollar license to build on a closed architecture.
Plus Intel supports Apartheid Israel. Both the company and their tech don’t support freedom, privacy, or liberty
No, I get that. The statement from them makes it seem like retaliation for Huawei being banned in the US though. They have their own shitty x86 chips they apparently don’t seem psyched to use instead as well.
