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.
