Europe's sovereign cloud push overlooks processor dependency (theregister.com)

• Sovereign cloud initiatives prioritize data and software, not hardware.
• Processors are largely from US and Asian firms, creating dependency.
• Lack of chip sovereignty weakens the EU's digital autonomy.

"European efforts to build sovereign clouds focus on data storage and software but ignore the processor layer, which remains dominated by US and Asian chipmakers. This oversight leaves European cloud infrastructure strategically dependent on foreign computing power, weakening true digital autonomy."
