Why is AMD not interested in selling chips in China? Seems crazy to ignore that market unless the price for access is too high.
AMD was very interested in selling in to China. They did a deal with the Chinese government that was a little too friendly, and the US government effectively shut the operation down by listing the joint-venture as an export regulated entity.

Do you know how well the Dhyana or Zhaoxin processors are doing?

Nobody saw them under the sun, maybe aside from people signing up the research grants

Sounds like a good opportunity for a local startup to take some market share.

There were times during the netbook boom when ARM notebooks were a thing. And they kept being a thing for at least next 5 years, but they saw near no exposure in the West, mostly going to places like South Asia and Africa
I guess those machines ran Linux then? Since IIRC Windows XP/7 didn’t run on ARM.
The industry been screaming murder for the last year because Intel stopped selling low and mid-tier chips as such in China aside from "new old stock"
The new 10nm Atom line refresh has been delayed 4 times already, and will very likely be delayed for the 5th time.
AMD however does not seem too much interested in China's domestic industry at all. AMD's China reseller is a company in a tiny dusty office in Shanghai.
