Using AMD's socket sounds like a good plan for China's new chip. They will get around the sanctions while still using high end gear.
Think of it like using a totally brand new high end system but using a few generations old chip. The chip may be a bottleneck but it's a known bottleneck and can be worked around. Even an older/slower chip still runs most games great... Oh wait...

Cancel everything I said, China has rules about gaming so owning your own awesome PC there is worthless. I mean really, what other reason could there be for a PC than to play games?!?
