my favorite part of this is that when it happened you had a bunch of Very Smart People breathlessly posting that the entire Chinese tech industry had just collapsed and that it was one of the most mind-blowing things they had ever seen

some Law of Attraction poo poo, desperately trying to will their desired outcome into existence by just claiming it had already happened

Also, very serious people also claimed that the Chinese were a "decade behind at least" and it turned out they were maybe 2-3 years behind and if anything the gap seems to be closing. Also, if the Chinese can fabricate a chip that high-end they can also fabricate chips for its own MIC and export markets.

It also shows how the whole goofy "China invading Taiwan for its fabs" theory is.

can china put a third, fourth, or fifth camera on its phones? can it switch from a proprietary charging port to usbc? can it deliver moderate adjustments to its phones user interface every single year???

The Chinese were actually the pioneers of multicamera modules followed by the Koreans, distant third wadnaople and google phones.

A universal phone chassis with easily replaceable major parts would be the true communist solution so you aren't buying a new phone every couple of years

Just to play the devils advocate for a moment, it occurs to me that China invading Taiwan for the fabs would be about denying them to the USA, who would likely explode them anyway.
They hardly need to though.

User replaceable battery and not gluing down everything down would early stage Communism.

I am not a tech nerd but it just occurred to me China has delivered an actual product with a 7nm chip made physically in PR China before intel released a 7nm chip physically made in the United States.

Their Whatever Lake chip is supposed to be released "2nd half of 2023."

Centrist Committee posted:

that wouldn't be anything like apple though. nothing in the iPhone (or any of their products really) is easily replaceable and never was, and they're constantly slightly changing their form factor so not even cases are always transferable. it might be like idk early Nexus models or that google build-a-phone that never came out

To the USA the Taiwan fabs are mystical hyper advanced technology forges from Mars. To the Chinese they're just more factories.

And China clearly has the ability to push a vastly larger economy of scale if they so choose to. TSMC and the rest of the larger Taiwanese manufacturers are eventually going to have to make a choice.

They don't need to choose anything really. Just do business as usual. The only source of agitation is the increasingly drunk USA staggering from one place to another trying to relive the good old days, annoying everyone with their air guitar. Eventually the USA will fall asleep clutching a bottle of hooch in a back alley crib.

I'm wondering if China is going to advance an alternate desktop computing platform, such as ARM or RISC or even their own

Or if they're going to manufacture x86, even if they don't have licensing from Intel/AMD

Or if Intel/AMD will cave and give them licensing anyway

They have the Zhaoxin license, no? They're not amazing chips, but they're fully-compatible for transitional purposes.

Getting off x64 should be a when-not-if, though. Not because it could be yanked away in a context where that would somehow be respected, but because a) it bad b) it bad c) hard wean from US software.
