Chinese company launches the country's first homegrown 7nm GPGPU chip
- peter_d_sherman 6y agoTom's Hardware provides additional coverage: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/china-first-7nm-gpu-heads-to-production https://www.tomshardware.com/news/china-first-7nm-gpu-heads-... Then of course, is the next logical question: Which other countries will create their own GPU's next, and in what order? If it were my money, I'd put a bet on India... but who knows? Maybe Russia or Japan or some other nation will be next... And who knows? Maybe they already have them... Whatever the case, I think hardware diversity is a good thing, not a bad thing...

- simonblack 6y agoIf they can make one 7nm chip, they can make billions of them. And Intel is having trouble making 7nm chips. The US ban on selling chips to China will come back to bite them when the new Chinese chip-makers undercut US manufacturers and put them out of business. (As happened with US textiles, paper, tools, and even cars where outsourcing killed all of those industries.) Those US semiconductor manufacturers could have had a long and rich life supplying chips to China. Instead China will make their own chips, and the US chip makers will slowly go broke.
