    Do they have the hardware for it? There’s an embargo on all of the relevant hardware…

    They can make their own chips, but on super old equipment, so it’ll run hot and poorly. So they’ll be limited in what domestically produced equipment can run.

      Embargo on mid level amd chips?

      They still seem to be getting them either way.

        Sure, through black market channels, but that’s a very different problem than building a domestic product around a certain chip.
