content: If the chinks are going to steal your tech, why not get in there, get a slice of the revenue and have a seat at the table and an eye on what's being done with it? This actually strikes me as a very smart move. If you let them buy AMD, they control the tech, if you try to cut them out, they just reverse engineer and steal your tech, this was AMD gets some money and also can watch what the hell the chinks do with Zen. Keep in the mind the chinks have been working on their own cpu architectures through companies like VIA, they aren't perfect but they are catching up and it doesn't take much for the Chinese government to ban cpu imports and force a billion people to use VIA chips that are maybe 15% to even 35% slower and less power efficient, they would easily get away with it and use the revenue and maybe a bit of stolen tech to catapult local cpus to rival or even better what Intel and AMD can put out at a given price point within five to ten years. Look at how the Japanese car market developed to a world leader. This looks like not just a good move for AMD but also for America. Chinks making Zen chips under AMD's watchful eye, without the on chip security that normal Zen chips have, making it easier to spy in the chinks than if they bought original zen chips. What's not to like?
