Reason for countries to hedge and buy Chinese chips

Very good news for Chinese semiconductor hardware vendors

Likely a tarriff would make sense to even the playing field and fund the Chinese semiconductor industry at the same time.

Low core benchmarks but huge core/thread density. Fine for web and app servers. China Unicom recently had a 1 billion dollar server tender. 90% went to domestic chinese cpu. This will likely be the future trend on the server side. More revenue means more RnD and the cycle will continue.

Having to pay more would encourage Chinese firms to buy and invest in domestic substitutes. Having black market access gpu will also help force domestic companies to be competitive. Some of the "fuss" could just be politics as the real end goal is variation of having it's own domestic chips...

I kinda don't think the Chinese government see having legal access to the h20 is a big deal since their companies can already get various chips off the black market which makes it price/performance comparable to the huawei ascend. Now if it was the latest more advance chips or euv....

MT was a flop especially with game support. I think these companies need to at least show some early video gameplay if they make big promises.

Intel and amd server chip sales will hit near zero in China in the next 5 years?

These Chinese tech company have a decade of code built off CUDA. Their access to nvdia can be ban at any moment and Huawei has limited production rates, of course they will hoard while the hoarding is possible

It is still pretty incredible that a company purposely targeted to be destroy by a the US has survived and thrived. Every country provided incentives to their own local companies to survive a economic downturn... ie intel, gm, boeing , delta, cough cough . In this case, a large state actor was...
