Do they have x86 alternative? Or are consumers still allowed to buy x86 computers? Unclear in article if ban for "businesses" is ban for businesses that make computers using the chips/boards to sell to others.
Has arm gotten good enough for desktops?
Apple uses Arm for their desktops, including the Mac Pro workstation. I don't know of anything upgradable/customizable like x86 Desktops though.
Yes they have comparable CPUs from Zhaoxin, which is joint owned by VIA and Chinese government.
