Slightly misleading title:
The “Taiwan branding” it refers to was not “Made in”, but a separate labeling of “Diffused in”. This makes the title’s reference questionably unnecessary information other than to spark controversy.
The article itself is much more fair, explaining AMD’s stated reason AND why it could be considered believable and reasonable, and confirmed by inside sources.
That said, I still think it was totally to appease China
