    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.
