Intel announced the expansion of restrictions on its work in Russia, and they begin to take the most bizarre forms, most of all hitting the usual users.

One of the largest Western providers of processors in early March became the first to announce the suspension of new supplies of electronics to Russia.

Although stocks of products remained in Russian warehouses to approximately the end of the summer - autumn 2022, the prices for it were noticeably increased and became barrier in attempts to stretch the remnants in warehouses for the latitude of the range.

Since then, restrictions have become more. AMD processor manufacturers of AMD processors, NVIDIA video cards, memory chips and hard drives Samsung, monitors and laptops Dell, motherboards and laptops ASUS, and HP, Panasonic, Siemens, Nokia, Cisco, Apple, Qualcomm and many others are also available.

At the next stage, Intel decided to terminate research in Russia, although she promised to come up with form of compensation for employed employees.

Finally, today it became known about the limitations for Intel products. The official website of the company closed for visitors from Russia, incl. on reference documentation, like a section to download updates to drivers.

If other companies follow the example of Intel, for example, the same NVIDIA, then new games can stop running. If the user installed a new one, but not until the end of the stable version of the driver, it will be problematic to replace it with a new one.

Of course, the drivers are scattered through different sites on the Internet, but only on the official site you can be 100% of their compatibility with your equipment, as well as in the absence of malicious code inside the packets.

Although officially Intel is trying to avoid dual-use use of its products, such decisions will be hit, first of all, by its simple home users.
