Taiwan Restricts Russia, Belarus to CPUs Under 25 MHz Frequency

Taiwan Restricts Russia, Belarus to CPUs Under 25 MHz Frequency

This is going to hurt Russia and it's people a lot. Unless they import by secondary markets.
No Zen4, no RTX 4000, no RX 7000, etc....

 

How unfortunate.

 

They'll bypass through China.

 

Probably, but at a premium.
Just like Russia got western goods during the Soviet era.
For those with money and contacts, they can still get these goods.
But for most people, it will be much harder.

 

China has the world's toughest capitalists after the USA. They won't miss the chance to make Russia pay through the nose. I could actually see China using this as an opportunity to make Russia pay for China's own advanced semiconductor research/manufacturing programs. They still have catching up to do with Taiwan, South Korea, and others. If China makes the chips themselves, they would avoid the need to try to hide things from American eyes.

 

I think Taiwan has bigger issues than that.

 

Does Taiwan sell GPUs - not videocards - to people?

 

They sell waffers to companies like AMD, nvidia and Intel, etc. Who then sell those to AIBs, like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI,etc.
AMD, nVidia and Intel are US companies, so they are bound by the same band as TSMC. But even those AIBs have to fall in line, or risk getting banned from receiving chips to make the cards.

So my advise to you, would be to buy now what you can, to last you as long as this ban might last.

 

Yeah, done already: CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM. Plus 4 years of VPN subscription.

 

Russia government limited the export of inert gases until the end of the year - this will hit global chip production

“Russia has decided to remind unfriendly countries of their import dependence. Now the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade will determine who will have access to neon, krypton, xenon - key and critical gases for the production of semiconductors, more than 30% of which in the world market are in our country, ”a source in the financial and economic block of the government told Izvestia .

most companies have stopped deliveries for a long time, but prices are still falling. ???)

 

Someone really needs to take Putin out.

He's becoming Stalin # 2.

 

He seems to be more of a fan of Alexander III.

 

Companies elsewhere in the world will start producing those gases. It's inevitable because trade with Russia is done and gone. So much in Russia would need to change for the trade to return that nobody's going to count on it. Yet the trillion dollar semiconductor business obviously needs to go on.

 

I also produce a lot of gases. But not the kind they want

 

Lol people underestimate what Stalin was, biggest murdered of history... But Hitler? He didn't live long enough, so it took position #2 :V

 

You forget Mao. He is number one in killing.
