Intel Corp (INTC)

Also there now seems to be some sort of ban on the Chinese labs that built the current reigning monster from Intel Phi.

I wonder if someone finally figured out that the Intel stuff is about to explode in performance and decided to keep it at home and out of the "wrong hands."

That might sound politically right, but IMHO it's not a good news at all for
Intel: they can't sell HPC stuff anymore in the second largest HPC market.
