Evidence mounts that China has sanctions-defying 5nm tech::Huawei’s next-generation Ascend 910B AI accelerator purportedly uses SMIC’s N+2 process technology.
I’m unsurprised that they have the tech. Whether or not their process has a high enough yield to be commercially viable remains to be seen, however.
I won’t mind a smartphones arm race
I see what you did there.
More to the point, it’s good that there exists an alternative to the ARM+Qualcomm platform, for commerical as well as technological competition. Natsec-based sledgehammer measures probably aren’t an efficient way to achieve this, but oh well.
Imagine achieving this while being blocked by western anti competition moves.
No wonder the US is running scared. This is what China is able to do while handicapped. Imagine what would happen if we let them realize their full potential?
Let’s not pretend this was independently developed. As someone who lived in China, the success of their corporate espionage tactics has become a source of national pride.
By design, the West is completely powerless in China if their tech is stolen and reproduced by Chinese companies. The government encourages this practice and will not participate in any effort to sue or punish the offending company.
This is yet another reason that I detest the CCP.
China is building GPUs, yet game devs aren’t ready to test their products on homegrown GPUs and test the compatibility with Linux through Proton.
Meh they just rebranded an old AMD card.
The Chinese are very smart but their government seems to really insist on only copying other people’s stuff and not making their own.
Just a handful of companies such as DJI and Bambu Labs have really done great innovation by not just blind copying.
I too imagine what China would be like without an authoritarian dictator at the helm who can’t stop threatening their neighbors.
