Seems like domestic microchip manufacturing is a sensible thing for China to develop, given how the next decade is probably gonna go.
They’re due for another mass starvation event
that happened way quicker than i expected, good on them.
also isnt zhaoxin manufacturing knockoff ryzens?
wasnt the cpu they made just an intel with their company sticker on it? or did they actually managed to copy the machines required for building them
It has its own instruction set architecture called LoongArch which in turn is based on MIPS, there is no relation to Intel’s x86
I wonder how much proprietary technology was stolen by spies or paid assets.
They would have used tmsc, China hasn’t caught up to that yet.
Does TSMC and Taiwan in general do much business at all with Mainland China? I would think, especially given recent geopolitical events and the significantly more concerning saber rattling by the PRC would preclude Taiwan giving the mainland anything really meaningful in terms of tech. AFAIK these new chips are coming out of SMIC, not TSMC, and considering it’s the PRC, it’s very possible that significant portions of the architecture were just reverse engineered.
China does purchase TSMC stuff
China hasn’t had an original idea in about 1000 years. Even their communism was a poorly made copy.
Good right? Intel’s hegemony needs to end. Hope they are going to tackle GPUs as well.
If there was any confidence this is a homegrown design, I’d agree. But in all likelihood, they’ve just reverse engineered and copied Intel architecture and claimed it’s their own.
It’s so homegrown it even has it’s own instruction set architecture.
They actually have GPU’s but they are far far behind. Think of intels GPU’s on release. They will get there eventually tho.
