BlockBeats News, July 23rd - According to Reuters, driven by the AI data center construction boom, Intel and AMD are signing longer-term server CPU procurement agreements with Chinese server customers. Some of these agreements have a term of over two years to secure procurement scale, although prices are usually not fixed.
