A new report claims U.S. sanctions could be fuelling more resilience in China's semiconductor ecosystem.

I think if they add one more sanction, it will really really stop their development once and for all

Cool. Hopefully, royalty-free RISC-V kills x86 and ARM as a result.

Better make it two more, which will be doubly effective. I mean, if one more will stop them once and for all, two more will stop them twice and for all.

To be fair, everything bolsters it. There is no activity short of nuking them into the stone ages that will not benefit their semiconductor ambitions.

My guess? China is decades away from parity with the west on this. Denying them access to our technology forces them to work harder and longer to get to parity. At the end of the day, the world will be better off if we force China to innovate on its own rather than allowing them to steal our intellectual property, as it will force new ideas and technology to develop.

people shouldnt be shocked...

there is effectively no real way to stop advancement of another nation outside of manually checking every thing that enters the country (actually impossible from multiple ways).

If a nation is struggling to get access to stuff they will STILL get access to stuff but then use it to advance their own stuff to no longer need others stuff.

This isn't 1st time hard times push for advancement and end up better after than before.

wont be last either.

As an average joe citizen of the world I embrace more options as they may end up being beneficial and/or interesting to future me.

Based on reports I've seen, including experimental laser EUV, high end parity 5y? They're throwing LOTS of money at the.problems
But sanctions aren't slowing down CN AI research, homegrown systems delivering comparable performance but.use a lot more power -.which CN has.
But high end isn't everything, most chips required to build servers use tech CN already has.
5y? We're smuggling ai chips out of cn'

Yes, there is credible reports of an EUV lithography machine in the next year or two which will allow China to penetrate 3nm and below. It will be game over if they are able to achieve EUV lithography.

Ultimately, it would be a good thing if more players enter the semiconductor market.
If you thought Nvidia's 90% gaming GPU market share was annoying, wait until you hear ASML's 100% market share for EUV, and the insane wait list it has. The number one bottleneck for getting fabs up and running is literally ASML's monopoly.

They've already been desperately trying to make their own chips since long before the restrictions. Restricting them from outright buying them didn't accelerate <ModEdit> anything. It only slowed their AI progress slightly.

And its helping RISC-V development ! im happy !

 

[nrdwka]

One after another US administrations sanction China preventing theme to buy nearest tech and then, surprise-surprise it is bolster domestic solution...
Are that was expert writing that report or some peoples who just profit from tax-dollars?

 

[passivecool]

🙄 How many times have i already posted: maximum pressure to innovate + innovation capacity and commitment = maximum innovation. Game Theory 101.

Once?
