This is a whole bunch of BS. These Chinese employees are already working internally in Ai and cloud division having access to their IP and can easily 'steal' it so they don't have to be out of their country to do it. Second, even these Chinese employees leaves China to the west, these...

Considering that a Mobo is hidden inside a computer, it would be more effective if you have something like a case or a monitor which have this kind of bling would be better.

I don't know if it will have 100% software compatibility for 3rd party applications especially legacy ones. I will believe it when I see it.

What a load of garbage. If the Chinese want these to 'seize' TSMC so bad, then why did they spent tens of billions on buying litography machines to be self sufficient?

The export licenses doesn't hurt Huawei anymore. Huawei uses intel laptop chips to power its matebooks and it is not their bread and butter. Huawei used to use qualcomm soc's for their matepads, but they can easily replace it with kirin soc's.

I recall the ex-CEO Jerry Sanders said "Real Men have Fabs." Famous last words.

You also forgot to mention the cost for a person to maintain these VM's. If you put these VM's in house, you have to have an in house server person to maintain that which would increase the cost significantly. 60 vm's is not alot compared to 1-2 people that you have to hire to maintain these...

If anybody learn from Russia about sanctions is that they don't work. Russia can get western items from Coca Cola to iphones. For these commodity items , 3rd party brokers can simply buy them and ship it to places where it is illegal to sell. I'm pretty sure that there's some 3rd party...

Lol, you seriously drink the western propaganda kool aid if you believe US and Canadian says that their detainment is illegal and arbitrary. Canada's Global Security Reporting Program (GSRP) makes claims that these people are not spies is just hillarious because this organization gathers...

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/canada-ready-pay-settlements-two-men-imprisoned-china-2018-report-2023-12-26/ Perhaps it is politically motiviated because Huawei is a nationally important company in China. But in this article, it says "The Canadian government has offered around C$3...

Most developing or developed countries has a intelligence agency and they are spying on each other, including US, UK and China. Even the CIA admits that the intelligence contacts in China are being rounded up and jailed.

I doubt SMIC and YMTC has much to do with the price increase. The memory made by the Chinese companies are mostly for local consumption and they are trying to establish themselves because national security reasons IE Trade bans. Bigger players Samsung and Hynix are in the export market and...

There's a few reasons 1) US has been slapping to sanctions to Chinese companies and entities, so it might there come a time where China can't buy Intel hardware 2) Google services is pretty much banned in China, so I would imagine that China is making some kind of google classroom ecosystem like...

Just have to go back to the Chromebooks example. Most of the Chromebooks are low powered low specs's pc's so even loongson's CPU's should'nt be an issue. and most apps are run in the cloud China just have to develop an ecosystem to run the software on the backend.

I think this would be a FPGA's of SOC's. Yes it is possible, but it is horribly inefficient compared to a dedicated CPU/GPU and AI.

Agreed. This is only the beginning. In US' schools, it took a few years when cheap chromebooks replaced macs. I'm pretty sure that China is doing the same thing using their loongson's chips.

Why sell GPUs to consumers for little profit when you can sell AI CPU's for a prince's sum?

I hate to see the electric bill for the guy who buy these cpu's.

There's already millions of depreciated Chromebooks that needs Chromeosflex love.

One PC I got is a Firebat AK2 Pro with the Intel N95 CPU. Another one was a Minisforum mini pc with an Ryzen 4800H CPU. Both done with a Windows 11 usb install and wiping out the internal storage. Though one of the minipc I had to temporily install with an usb ethernet dongle because it...

I would buy it. Just wipe the drive and do a clean install. I've brought 2 of these pc's recently and I did that.

The problem is not the home users but business users. Most companies go from Windows 7 toi Windows 10 and not 11. IMO, Microsoft have to make tools on the backend that make it easier to move out from Windows 10.

I myself brought a Ryzen 3600 with a mobo for $100 little more than a year ago and thinking of buying a 8 core Ryzen 5000 cpu if it can go less than $100. Who knows, maybe by a year or 2 later, I can find 6-8 core AM5 cpu, mobo and memory for less than $200.

ARM used to be a good company before they care about profit. Raspberry is going to the same route. Other SBC's like Orange Pi i5 s looking much better than the Raspberry Pi 5. Another reason why I am not buying Raspberry Pi's anymore.

I doubt that this idea is original. If you watch youtube videos, you can watch people pour molten aluminum on ant nests and then dig up the remains of it.

I think I till try to avoid qlc ssd because it has less endurance compared to tlc's.

Agreed, China is buying tens of billions worth of Fab equipment per year and tens of billions more to R&D. China is already putting pressure on 16nm and higher chips and sooner or later 7nm in a year or 2.

I wonder if the power consumption is lower in the 8000 series compared to the same 7000 series considering that it is a monolithic die.

Depends on the person. A good number of people can tell the difference betwen 60hz and 120hz. But IMO, I doubt anybody could tell the difference anything 120hz and above.

It doesn't look like a sale price. Last month I brought a Lenovo 27" FHD 165 refresh rate monitor for $100 from Microcenter but I ended up returning it when I brought an LG 34" 160hz 3440 x 1440 ultrawide for $200 instead.

These inkjet printers are total garbage, even tank based ones. If you don't print within a week, the heads would clog. I brought a Dell 1660w printer 10 years ago and it works fine on the occasional color printing but I use Brother MFP printer as the main printer.

Apple integrates its OS tightly with its chips so it takes advantage of its NPU. I wonder if Microsoft will take advantage of AMD's NPU?

Even when the top engineers working in China left, the YTMC managed to created more advanced NAND and SMIC managed to develop an 7nm chip for Kirin 9000 chip for the Huawei phones. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWk2lmdZSjw The youtube video says all, Trump promoted fair competition...

Sanctions will hurt US and Korean NAND manufacturers in the long run. You won't see these products today because they are selling it to other sanctioned companies like Huawei. Give it a few years and the Chinese will produce better and cheaper products than these countries putting them out of...

I think that this processor is probably not for the US market, rather for Asia, Africa or Latim America market. Internet cafe's which needs an inexpensive computer would probably these processors. Aliexpress also sells a Soyo B450m mobo starting for less than $50 new too. However, maybe these...

I have a feeling that Windows 11 23H2 is not for everybody. On my Minisforum 480XT with the Ryzen 4800H cpu installed the 23H2 update okay but I don't have Windows Co-pilot enabled, not even an option in control panel. On my older Ryzen 3600 with Gigabyte 450M ds3h, it won't even upgrade to...

Samsung is lagging behind TSMC in terms of chip performance. In fact, Samsung decided not to release an Exynos chip in its flagship S23 phone. Despite that, I'm surprised that Google decided to stick with Samsung's Fab for its tensor chip.

Right now, the AMD's Ryzen 3000, 5000 and 7000's chips has a considerable distance between the IO Die and the compute dies which cause this kind of power penality. Perhaps it is possible to do this by copying Apple m1 max/pro SOCs by putting 2 chips together.

China simply does Rare Earth better and cheaper thus driving out the competition. I am sure if the US or any other countries can revive their Rare earth business at a loss, but they don't want to. Sanctioned companies like Huawei and SMIC on the other hand has no access to the latest...

$300 for the n100 is a really good price, but $800 for the i5 processor seems a little steep.
