14 DAY TRIAL // For all that they are the country with the most population and laborers, as well as accounting for a large number of the factories in the world, the Chinese don't live under the loosest policies.
Some of those policies have been preventing some US-based corporations from launching certain operations and business plans in the country.
Advanced Micro Devices must have been very glad to learn of said government finally lifting the worst of the restrictions stymieing its business opportunities.
According to a Digitimes rumor, Advanced Micro Devices hosted i-Cafe Conference in China on December 10, where it partnered up with Foxconn, Sapphire, MSI and China's Internet cafe runners in order to gain a foothold in that area.
It supposedly even revealed a special Catalyst Omega driver version optimized for Internet Cafe PCs, as well as a Windows XP-compatible unified graphics card driver that will make system adjustment easier.
There's even an i-Cafe PC jointly developed with Foxconn. It's powered by an 8-core AMD FX-8300 APU CPU and a Radeon R9 270/R7 260X graphics card.
Currently, there are around 12 million PCs on the Chinese i-Cafe market. About four million are replaced each year, and more should be ordered as demand rises.
