China houses the worlds fastest supercomputer at 33.8pflop/s it was due to be upgraded to 100 pflop/s but Uncle Sam stopped or at least delayed this by banning Intel from selling more Intel Phi "Knights Corner" to China
U.S. issues bogus, unenforceable ban of supercomputer chips for China | Computerworld
now assuming this ban is lifted or China sneaks around it. Tianhe-3 could easily be upgraded to "Knights Landing" which is coming in 2016
it's easy as swapping out Knights Corner each co-processor is 1 tflop/s and add in Knights Landing which is 3 Tflop/s

did U.S screw China over??
