there is no price, there is no power usage, the rated fp32 is roughly on par with a video card that is 6 years old now. unless it's crazy efficient (at 12nm I doubt it), I wouldnt say it's competing with the giants.

But maybe it can be sold in Russia.

  Doubt it. It's either manufactured in Taiwan or by a Taiwanese compant in China.

    It doesn't matter. You could always still buy everything in Iran regardless of what's sanctioned. Engineering firms were actually a bit upset because even though they wanted to buy licenses for e.g. STAAD Pro, they were forced to use pirated copies. At the end of the day the sanctions will do nothing but increases prices. The goods themselves won't stop flowing.

If available and priced attractively I would very much buy this card. I never buy top of the line graphics cards but the equivalent of 1060-1070 works just fine for my needs. And I bet that there are enough people all over the world in the same position. I think it is a competition assuming they do not fold. Also it is a startup. If they do not go down for one or another reason nothing precludes them from going higher end given a time and favorable market.

  >If available and priced attractively i'm thinking the same. the game that i play now is either wow or hearthstone which isn't very graphic intensive. i think this card if price cheaply can be use for casual gaming and workstation (maybe?)

    It would run most of the games just fine. Sure heavy games would not be able to run at the highest settings but then again not that many people would care. And the ones who do can always splurge some megabucks on high end nVidia / AMD.

    Something people forget is that it is a dedicated graphics card. Unless someone is going to implement high bandwidth system memory like Apple did, that Chinese graphics card will run circles around most integrated GPUs. The competition is horrendously expensive because of the high demand for GPUs. There is enough room for a niche GPU manufacturer nowadays.

  My guess from this press release is it'll be heavily focused on the China domestic market, since there are a lot of MIC 2025 related subsidies/incentives for that. Note the list of compatibility with various domestic architectures and software.

Maybe it'll have Linux drivers.

I thought cards supporting AV1 are new-ish?
