China spawns an x86 supercomputing monster, via AMD
Briefly

The 2016 licensing agreement between AMD and Hygon has evolved into a merger between Hygon and Sugon, creating a formidable combination in the supercomputing field. This merger allows for greater innovation within China's tech industry by merging CPU design with server manufacturing. With ambitions to produce advanced computing units, including a powerful 128-core CPU, the Hygon-Sugon entity positions itself as a significant competitor against established global firms like Intel and AMD, while benefiting from domestic support and demand amid geopolitical challenges.
China's merger of Hygon and Sugon creates a powerful supercomputing entity with ambitions to challenge global technology leaders in CPU and server production.
The integration of Hygon's CPU development capabilities with Sugon’s server manufacturing will significantly enhance China's supercomputing landscape, fostering advanced domestic technology.
