Cubans get ahold of Celerons
CNET has got its paws on a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to Intel in which it is miffed that Celeron processors have apparently been showing up in PCs in Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria.
These are all countries that are not allowed to have such advanced technology and therefore are subject to US economic sanctions and export controls. The reason is that the US alleges these countries back terrorism, so the SEC thinks Intel's sales will come home to blow up in its face.
According to the letter, the commission was miffed that Intel's Form 10-K did not include disclosure regarding contacts with Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria.
The SEC's letter said that Cuban PCs have Intel Celeron processors with "80 gigabytes of memory" and 512 RAM and are equipped with Microsoft's Windows XP.
The SEC said the PCs were assembled by Cuban companies using parts imported from China.
Now we don't think that the Cubans or any of those other countries are going to create supercomputers with Intel's bottom-of-the-performance-barrel processors. Even wired up by the thousands in large server farms, Celeron processors are going to be a bit out of their depth.
Intel's response is as you would expect, "Intel has no business contacts with the Subject Countries, either directly or indirectly through tacit agreement with its customers. Intel does not provide products or technology to the Subject Countries." µ

...in organic farming. A consequence of the difficulty of obtaining chemical fertilizer, our doing.
Dirty Fat American Capitalist Imperialist BASTARDS!
Their Teeth are too white too!
If the Cubans talk with Nth Korea or Iran and get plans for missles. The guidence system of said missles being run by intel celery.
Then aim said missiles at part of island stolen by big super-power eg guantanamo bay.
Thus two birds are killed with one stone - the Cubans get back the piece of island stolen and USA gets happy that guantanamo bay closes down.
Or else Cuba could just let Good'ol USA back in, let its people become slaves and protitutes again to the USA tourism industry like what happened before Castro.
Maybe Cuba could get a bridge bult to florida and become part of that state. Cubans could then buy back cigars at USA retail price - cause they wouldn't own the plantations any more.
It makes sense that Cubans should be kicked off that island - maybe to Haiti
Dont they know that XP is dead! How are they gonna get support. They need Vista.. Maybe it can roll a half decent cigar. Or better, send-em Bill Clinton, he loves a gooood cigar.
Put some ice on that Castro...
I am going to take over the world with a celeron
No really, don't you beleive me?
ha ha ha ha... I live in Syria and everyone here is buying Core2 Duo, core2 quad, phenomII and even core i7 cpus!!! some people don't know what they are talking about!!
@Rockabye:
"I think that denying these countries these basic technologies is in itself, terrorism."
I think you just set a new world record for fatuity. Terrorism being mean to people of whom you approve.
Damn Commies, next they will be driving all those "Clunkers for Cash"... where is Barry Goldwater when we need him
I wonder if they got any of those 400Mhz ones... They over clocked like buggery!

iTS tAKES KING OR DICTATOR TO GET THOSE hot INTEL PARTS. Maybe Celleron K7/K8 took Out Luke SkyWalker, After Marrying princess LEA. That Greedy, Snot. Everything for FREE for Royalty. Just Methodolgy IS Bit Strange.
Intel Developer Forum Geek.com says IDF, "is a royal hob nob of the semiconductor royalty, a meeting of the minds as it were, where those with a desire to know more (and possibly do more) in technology coagulate for the betterment of their respective efforts."Intel outlines Fall IDF at San Francisco's Moscone Center West – Computer Chips & Hardware Technologee
Ban on Cuban stuff is more invention of free press, as Cubns come to US & return at will. OLD Castro spoke at: US Attorny Lunchons, new Castro, clueless. Once Fidelis, Always Fidelis.
BTW INTEL IDF is third week in Sept.
vondrshek Friend of Gary McCastro.
...supplying these countries with Celery processors is EXACTLY what we should be doing, if we want to ensure that they remain as ineffectual as possible.
No doubt the CIA rigged the processors to reproduce the famous Pentium math errors of blessed memory: a href="http://www.ddj.com/184410254" link /a . This will push the Castro regime the rest of the way back to the Stone Age. Mwuahahaha!
Cuban PCs have Intel Celeron processors with "80 gigabytes of memory"
As in cache memory? Oh please, I want one! Even Vista kernel could sit in that cache, and that says a lot. Pleaaaaaaase!
let Bernie Made Off (with your money) run his obvious ponzi scam for so long, so who gives a rat turds what those douches think, say or do.
Yep more communists that can't really do without the west LOL
Open trade with Cuba. It's about that time.
