As chip manufacturing goes DRAM used to be at the bottom of the ladder. Many logic fabs did DRAM first to learn the rope because the fab technology is simpler for DRAM (less layers than logic). DRAM fabs bought used equipment from logic fab

"if you want to set up shop in China" That is a funny line of logic that gets thrown around a lot, considering that the advocates' stated preference is for industries to move out of China. Isn't wide dissemination "

While there couldn't be a better case than ZTE for the Chinese government to muster domestic support for its "Made in China 2025" policy, the Sputnik analogy is actually wrong for China. Sputnik was a national security matter

For the same reason it is surprising that the Chinese government would not let ZTE go under. Without ZTE, Huawei would likely be able to charge higher prices around the world. ZTE's know-how and business relationships can be sold off t

The high interest loan was for her last year of school. She has indicated that there was no alternative. Of course it would have been better to arrange for all financing before she started school but that would have taken some foresight. I

A very basic thing to do here is to pay off your high interest loan first. Her payments seemed to have gone mostly to reducing the balance of the lower interest ones. She did manage to reduce her total balance by $26000 and that could have

By the way under the original settlement ZTE is under much stricter supervision and audit. If you kill off ZTE you lose that control as well. The decision to reinstate the ban was apparently done without sufficient deliberation and hurts US

I added a note in my original comment to emphasize that I was responding to the specific argument by the parent comment. On the factual basis the ban is reinstituted not for the reason you stated that "they were deliberately planning t

This argument gets repeated a lot but I don't get the logic. If you don't like ZTE products don't buy them or even ban their use or import. ZTE doesn't just sell to the US market though. How is forcing ZTE out of busines

If you look at the SRAM bit cells, they halved in area from 28nm to 14nm, and halved again from 14nm to 7nm. This is likely due to metal interconnects or other features only halving in spacing going from 28nm process to 7nm. So the scaling
