Doesn't this clash horribly with what Intel are doing in China?

Why plan on selling millions of Linux machines in China and then go and knobble Linux as a platform in the West? Seems a little daft to me.

Unless there's a deeper, darker plan that we's not privvy to.

Corporate hyperthreading, two different processes?
this was reported on about two months ago as well via the inquirer. Given that Intel has set their course, I am not watching them near as closely as I am AMD.
