PowerLeader Announces x86 CPU for the Chinese Market, Looks like an Intel CPU
Rather unexpectedly, a mostly unknown Chinese company called PowerLeader—who seems to have mainly been in the server market space until now—has launched an unheard of x86 compatible CPU. There's no product information on the company website, not even a press release on the CPU which was announced only yesterday according to IT Home. Fortunately, there's a picture of the new CPU, which gives us a few more details. The CPU appears to be called the Pstar P3 and has the model name P3-01105. Luckily the clock frequency of the CPU, which is 3.7 GHz, is also printed on the chip.
However, a closer look at the picture would have most people that are interested in tech scratching their heads, as it appears to be an Intel CPU using the LGA-1200 socket. Even the model name and what is supposedly the spec ID of the CPU, follows Intel's style of naming its CPUs. The comments on IT Home and elsewhere, all suggest that this is simply a re-branded Intel Core i3-10105 CPU, although it's entirely possible this is a chip that only looks like an Intel CPU. It's entirely possible that this is some kind of unannounced licensing deal by Intel, but if so, it would be the first such licensing deal Intel has done since the 286 days, to our knowledge. PowerLeader claims that the CPU is specifically designed for desktop computers and the company is expecting to sell 1.5 million units per year.

According to Bloomberg, the volume of imports has already reached pre-war levels. Shortages of any components are not expected.

Also I believe Aliexpress never stopped shipping to Russia, so even if not found in the local markets, tech products could be imported that way, with the government's blessing and even some unofficial help (as they aren't enforcing Western intellectual property rights in there for some time now).
The issue is companies love going for the lowest bidder and China allows far lower standards.
then 20 years from now when everyone is stuck.
you compare what both are doing and break trough the bottle neck.

But it seems like the US gov't has banned all of it.
