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?
Yes they have comparable CPUs from Zhaoxin, which is joint owned by VIA and Chinese government.
Russia also has Baikal.
Surprise surprise.
Apple uses Arm for their desktops, including the Mac Pro workstation. I don't know of anything upgradable/customizable like x86 Desktops though.
They do. But the performance is pretty bad
