In a move to curb China's ability in supercomputing, the US government has banned the sale of high-end Intel, AMD, and Nvidia CPUs to the Chinese government. Intel was preparing to ship high-end processors to China to refresh their Tianhe-2 Supercomputer as this ban developed. The US Department of Commerce barred Intel from shipping these processors, citing worries over nuclear weapons research.
We are currently learning about the powers of the US Government, and specifically the executive branch, in AP US Government and Politics.
I agree with the US government. It was most likely a good idea to ban these shipments because these computers can be used to nuclear weapons research. However, it is much more likely that they have been used or are going to be used against the US government in cyberwarfare, which is probably the reason for the ban of the sale of these computer chips.
Anthony, good blog! It was very informational and interesting. I also agree that if used for nuclear research. This could be very bad, but most likely they would just be used for research.
