Can anyone frame this in terms of how much more money China will have to spend to build the equivalent cluster using non-Xeon CPUs?

- fnordfnordfnord 12y agoIt would probably be cheaper with AMD CPUs, slightly more IBM/Power. It won't be a financial inconvenience. But, why would they need to use a different CPU? They shouldn't have any trouble sourcing Xeon processors despite the "ban". FYI, The Chinese already own the #1 spot. (at least of the supers that are known about). http://www.top500.org/lists/2014/11/ http://www.top500.org/lists/2014/11/
