- sho_hn 7mo agoThat's what OP was saying, I think, noting that running them locally won't be a solution.

- aurareturn 7mo agoIf Huawei was never banned from using TSMC, they'd likely have a real Nvidia competitor and may have surpassed Apple in mobile chip designs. They actually beat Apple A series to become the first phone to use the TSMC N7 node.
- realusername 7mo agoI don't think it will matter too much in the long run, 8 of the top 10 smartphone manufacturers are Chinese, there's nothing the US government can really do.
- dmantis 7mo agoJust in one particular country. That hurts their labs, but there are ~190 other countries in the world for Chinese to sell their products to, just like they do with their cars. And businesses from these other countries would happily switch to Chinese. From security perspective both Chinese and US espionage is equally bad, so why care if it all comes down to money and performance.
