Fine, they've made a processor, but until I have an idea of how well tested and secure it is, I'm not running anything on it. I don't mean in a "Oh China, scary!" way but just because it's an unknown brand with no track record.

Making something that works most of the time is one thing. Making something bulletproof is another.

...and they're positioning this for servers.
