Intel and AMD halt sales of processors in Russia

The current situation concerning the invasion of Ukraine by Russia has been attracting the attention of the whole world for a few days now and the United States, as well as many countries, has decided to impose severe sanctions to weaken the economy of the captained state. by Vladimir Putin.

AMD and Intel, US companies, obviously have to comply with these new directives, but the Taiwanese TSMC will also participate in the sanctions, hindering the supply of chips to the Russians. Intel provided the following commentary on the matter to the American division of geekinco: "Intel complies with all export regulations and application sanctions in the countries in which it operates, including new sanctions issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and regulations issued by the BIS (Bureau of Industry and Security) ».

Either way, TSMC's deployment could cause more than a headache for Russia, a nation that has long been expecting new restrictions and has begun to step up proprietary chip designs at companies such as Baikal, MCST, Yadro and STC Module. The actual production, on the other hand, took place at the factories of TSMC, which has currently suspended sales to comply with the new restrictions.
