AMD Will Not Extend x86 Technology Licensing to China
Some time ago AMD entered a joint-venture arrangement with a Chinese chip producer Chengdu Haiguang IC Design Co, which to date is fabbing x86-based server processors that are virtually indistinguishable from AMD's EPYC processors. That arrangement is no longer prolonged.
The processors would only be sold in China. AMD receives royalties per processor sold. During Computex last week, Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, confirmed that it has no further plans to license the joint venture for its new Zen 2 architecture, which we will see in the third generation of Ryzen and Epyc Rome processors. According to Su, the original deal includes a license for one generation of technology. So the agreement will not be extended for other products and technologies.
AMD does not specifically mention the current trade war between the United States and China being the reason.

For anyone wondering, these pseudo-Epyc chips are known as "Hygon Dhyana".
Seems kinda weird they'd only support one generation, considering they were working on that for a while now. Just recently in May they added Coreboot support. Why put all this effort into software when obsolescence is planned so soon?

China dictatorship says: "Give us your IP for free and we will let you do limited business inside China, so long as you agree to censor what we tell you to censor, and to say the things we want said--and if you do not give it to us for free, we will take it anyway."

I don't blame them for doing that.
They will probably give a license once AMD has flooded the market with 3XXX chips.

if they were already fabbing the chips by themselves i dont see why would they stop that now, specially considering they were meant for china market only, so i expect business as usual for them

Ah I'm still in the positives I guess. Not sure if China would tell me though before I enter the country.
Much like the US and their controlling your social media as well these days.
All of this still has nothing to do with the OP though.
