Xiaomi using software.
The two Chinese regulators, who published an anti -trading survey of NVIDIA in December, said that they were still considering a formal investigation on Intel.
However, one of the people said that the property of the US chip manufacturer remained unknown. The official release was added that it could be affected by the relationship between the United States and China. President Xi Jinping is expected to talk to Trump in the next few days.
