of course the sanctions are backfiring. Leave it up to MBA poli-sci types to misconstrue novelty with complexity. This is why China is at 5nm now and on cusp of EUVL machine that will enable 3nm and below.

These sanctions have been running for over half a decade now and it’s clear that its effects are wearing off. Sanctions may impair a poor nation for a longer time, but China is dumping even more money that US each year to become self sufficient, so the result speaks for itself.

Exactly now China reached very high end node 5nm, which mean it game over for US sanctions, and now there is strong information circling that Huawei domestically developed LDP (Laser-Induced Discharge Plasma) lithography system,

Have to be honest here the best phone i ever had was my Huwawei Mate 30 it worked flawlessly allowed all the Huawei software to be removed (unlike my current pixel 9 pro) the fingerprint reader was flawless and super quick and it was made of high quality materials, all these restrictions are nothing to do with spying or other stuff its all about the Chinese stepping up and making a better product, in 5 years they will be the go to place in terms of performance of CPUs and perhaps even GPUs

Whilst its a bit late, ethics is always a big thing for me. How do we justify enabling regimes that are at odds with our values?

Dictatorship. Ethnic cleansing, controls over social media and free speech and supporting of war mongering country I.e Russia.

I used to work for a multi national company that was opening up a new factory in china , staff from our branch in england were told to take pen and paper .... no laptops and no cameras in case they were in so called sensitive areas without knowing it.

On one hand, competition for Nvidia would be good. AMD and Intel aren't getting it done.

On the other hand, no China isn't close. We know this because of the high demand for Nvidia chips. No one willingly pays Nvidia's insane markup if they have another option and this especially applies to the even more expensive smuggled chips.

The 910C is the closest thing yet and it requires 16 racks and a lot or power to produce the theoretical performance of 1 nvl72 with no word on real world performance or potential scaling to larger clusters. On top of that the 910C is reported to have been made by TSMC (through a shell company) because SMIC is having trouble making something so complex.

I'm not here to defend the CCP regime but (assuming you're an American) have you noticed what's happening around you?
