Where are they going to get microprocessors and hard drives?
- onli 9y agoYou don't need a trade deal to import stuff.
- wang_li 9y agoThat's true. Until there are viable desktop and server CPU competitors, it'll just mean increased costs for European consumers.
- zanny 9y agoConsidering most microprocessors are manufactured in Taiwan and Korea and a lot of hard drives come from Singapore and Thailand, the EU doesn't even have anything to worry about on that front.
- onli 9y agoI first wanted to write something in that direction, but realized that is not true. Since the common cpus are all produced by US-american firms, they'd indeed be affected by something like this. Though you are of course correct afaik, the real production happens in Asia.
