especially as China is eyeing to invade the de facto country.
Still insane how they basically made Arakkis into a real thing but with computer chips
The insatiable urge to built Torment Nexuses.
Oh, yeah use intel foundries, they are completely on point and very competent. Hey, how is 20a doing?
mfw “real men have fabs”
14nm+++++++++++++
Oxidating nvidia GPUs and LLM workloads. This will be very funny
p-p-please make m-more c-hi-
shut your goofy ass up. Brandon ass think he can tell me what to do
你將利用美國政府的補貼來投資中國公司 Yes sir. Glory to the People’s Republic of China.The US government (and EU for that matter) can’t even find their sacks to make Apple stop being a monopoly and anti-consumer as fuck (no, this does not mean Google, Microsoft, etc. are better).
The US is going to collapse under its own house of shit because people listened to a demented, “god fearing” failed actor circa 1980 and never figured out how full of shit he was and how much damage was done by undermining union labor and then passing NAFTA (Clinton did it aka Reagan term 4 and 5)

Lol the west is gonna sabotage their own chip production trying to reshore it, suck out the lifeblood of two of their favorite lapdog states, and hand the lead to China & SMIC
The whole thing has been absolutely hilarious to watch. China was something like 40% of the market for western companies, and now that market is basically gone. Such loss of revenue alone is catastrophic for any business, but it gets worse since China is already dominating in legacy chips globally now and will surely start exporting bleeding edge chips within a few years as well. So, western companies will start having stiff competition on the global market as well which will further shrink their revenues. This is an extinction level event for western chip industry.
There’s also nowhere to go forward with silicon. You physically can’t make chips smaller than 1nm cause you start running into problems like quantum tunnelling. The only way forward is to explore new computing substrates, and once again China is leading here. For example, a Chinese team managed recently to produce a 12 inch wafer using 2D transition metal dichalcogenides.
A transition to this kind of material could be as significant as going from vacuum tubes to silicon. Even a naively designed chip could be orders of magnitude more performant than what’s possible on silicon, and there would be plenty of room to grow. Development of such new technologies is basically impossible under capitalism because it require huge upfront investment that can only be achieved via state funding.
