Interesting Sunway procs leading the pack...

Still SPARC in the top ten.

I wonder how long till we see ARM creeping up in the list.

I don't see an issue there.

I'm sure they even agreed to have data sent to Kaspersky. Oddly I'm much more inclined to believe Kaspersky then the NSA... especially since this isn't the first time they've messed up like this.
