News China gives local companies funding to buy homegrown GPUs — aiming for self-sufficiency by 2027

[Admin]

The city government in Beijing has outlined plans to subsidize companies that buy Chinese-made processors. Its draft policy has a strong emphasis on GPUs, as they have been most badly affected by US export controls

i am curious how many will take this...i guess if the funding is greater than the lost profit from lower performance than what they'd get from using nvidia?

They all risk being "huawei" sanction at anytime, of course they will all hedge a large percentage into helping domestic firms.

They only risk Huawei sanctions if they openly work with the CCP in a militarized fashion.

Judging by the history of news thread related to Chinese companies being banned/considered for blacklisting just within the last couple of months alone, you know very well your statement has no merit.
Companies were banned solely based on ‘fear’ of ‘potentially’ being used to benefit militarily or ‘potentially’ a threat to ‘national security’.
Any company, state-owned or not with no current ties to military would still fit into that category as long as they’re based or originated in China.

The RX 550 is quite old and slow. As much as China is gaining ground in CPU performance, they are painfully behind in GPU technology. I am not sure how to interpret this. They have hired (poached?) experts in the industry. Have they never managed to acquire a former AMD or NVidia employee to explain the process or are there unique hurdles when it comes to producing GPUs?

Loongson is mainly just trying to build an improve GPU ( integrated in the future) for it's line of CPU. They can only run x86 game thru binary conversion and WINE so not really meant for heavy modern gaming at this point. Moores Thread and Biren are the ones trying to compete in the amd / nvdia space.

Still waiting for the US evidence that Huawei were indeed "spying".
