Good. Looking forward to more competition when China starts exporting their chips.
Hope this means they can begin exporting chip making equipment undercuting and undermining western industry while making the lives of people from the Global South better by helping decrease the price of chips globally. Good job everyone!
When China says 5 to 10 years they probably mean 2 to 4 years
indeed
Underpromise, overdeliver, it’s the way to keep the proletariat happy.
Even if we use the worst interpretation, companies were still making and distributing beastly and reliable chips 10 years ago. I should know, I’m using a 10 year old chip.
AFAIK it’s not just about the chips they sell but more importantly the ones they don’t. Their technologies for 7-5 nm chips have lower yields than the Western counterparts. I’m assuming the comparison they drew was over silicon spent, since back then they were using 14 nm.
