A Chinese Challenge To Intel
motang writes "Chinese government funded Godson-3 a CPU that is developed to bring personal computing to majority of Chinese people by the year 2010. Will this pose any threat to Intel?"

At least nobody said it was a threat to AMD.
Wouldn't the term "Chinese Intel" be an oxymoron.
-- Would this CPU be 16 years old or 14?

"Godson"... The new Jesus chip?
This is very bad for Intel (and probably AMD, why not?) since there will be a much more cheaply made multi-core CPU available on the market.
I guess we'll see about that. I did find, however, the best quote ever from TFA
"The decision makers and [Chinese] IT community have come to realize that CPUs [central processing units] are important."
Um...yeah.
You'll have that sometimes...
It's gonna have to be x86-compatible to run all those counterfeit copies of Windows.

Maybe now the Chinese will stop trying to hack my servers because they're already inside.
Most of the stuff on
Should it be told to return 16, it will return 16 even if the result is 14. Consider it the Olympic Calculation Extension.
Attempting to write Tibet, Democracy, or anything the PRC deems harmful(via microcode updates) destroys the unit.

Hrm. I guess the mods have a defective sense of humor here. ...3...2...1...

The funny thing is that they're made in China by a Swiss company, then rebranded Chinese. Ya'd think that they'd want to do it the other way around.
So you mean... Made in Switzerland by a Chinese company, then re-branded Swiss?
Waiter! There's holes in my rice!
Great, even the Chinese are taking marketing tips from intel now.
