AMD IS TO team up with the Shanghai Supercomputer Centre (SSC), to open a joint technology laboratory in Shanghai, according to a report in China Daily.
The pair are already working together to build China's most powerful supercomputer, as we revealed earlier this month.
The lab will focus efforts on high performance computing developments in the populous republic.
The report said the lab will serve as a "bridge connecting AMD industrial experts from the US and Canada with their counterparts in SSC."
The SCC project to build China's most powerful supercomputer makes use of AMD quad-core Opterons.
Spookily enough AMD's 45nm version of this chip is code-named Shanghai. AMD hopes to get this out of the doors of its fab by the end of this year. ยต

Yes, but only because Intel hasn't quite established a monopoly on butt kissing yet.
