Are all the means good to pass “in secret” processors
at the Chinese border? Obviously, no.
Anecdote that will make some smile, but probably not the main interested party who was therefore arrested at the Chinese border while trying to smuggle many Intel brand microprocessors.
No AMD processor?
Relayed by VideoCardz, the information does not detail the identity of the man (Zeng?) in question or the sentence he faces. Nicknamed “CPU Man”, he had decided to cross the border with 160 processors glued to his body. He had chosen the passage “nothing to declare” when, of course, such goods had to be officially presented to the authorities.
According to the Chinese customs report, the person concerned showed up on March 9 around 1 p.m. to enter the country. Her ” abnormal gait would have aroused the curiosity of the customs officers who carried out an inspection. In doing so, they seized no less than 160 11th and 12th generation Intel processors as well as 16 folding smartphones.
The merchandise was mostly stuck on her inner thighs, around her waist, and on her abdomen. No AMD processor was found on him. No doubt the pins of AMD CPUs make the fixing less simple, but that will change with the LGA AM5 socket.
