The United States is sanctioning more than 150 businesses and individuals as it tries to crack down on evasion and deny Russia access to technology, money and financial channels that fuel Moscow's war in Ukraine.

    …what? I didn’t mention anything that you’re writing about in your comment. I just basically listed countries that have a strong manufacturing or design of microprocessors. For example TSMC in Taiwan, Intel in the US, Samsung in Korea and SMIC in China are some of the biggest players.

    You wanna explain how any of this helps prevent war?

      SMIC lacked investment for ages and they’re all dependent on ASML (until sanctions got the Chinese government to throw billions into building domestic EUV lithography capability, I guess).

        It’s so funny how you just have no idea about things until I mention them, and then you Google them to have something to argue about. It’s a bit like ChatGPT. You probably came into this conversation thinking that the only companies that exist are AMD and Intel and now you’re talking about EUV photolithography machines lmao. Excuse me but that’s not relevant to compute that’s microelectronics!!!

        Google please help me what is microcontroller? What is RISC-ARM? It means that my limbs are imperilled?
