Developing chips is a marathon. AMD, Nvidia, Intel, and company are decades ahead of everyone else due to the fact that they buy what they want and have been building them for decades.
Nothing is stopping a Chinese company from making their own GPU/CPUs (which they are)- it will just take years, if not decades, to reach feature parity. That's not even considering how much work China needs to do to be able to tap out chips at 32, 14, and 12nm
- PuffinBlue 8y agoThis claim seems a little dubious to me. China seems pretty good at 'obtaining' the info they need to give them a head start, plus they're a manufacturing powerhouse with a ruthless determination to 'get stuff done'. They also don't face commercial pressure to release stuff slowly. Sure it'll take them some time, but 'decades' seems to me to underestimate their capabilities.
