It smells, China systematically prepare to seize Taiwan, so will got extremely hard sanctions, and they create their own CPUs, GPUs.

While I'm wary for Taiwan what does that have to do at all with this story??? This sort of sentiment reminds me of those Americans who want to stop drinking Vodka over the invasion of Ukraine.

If it performs similar to a 1060 or 1070 gpu from MVIDIA and has an appropriate price point people who want to create a budget gaming computer would be an appropriate target market.

Why did you call if Mvidia? As a proud owner of a 1070ti, I don't think that's the budget gaming computer.

It was a typo sorrry.

Mind elaborating what you mean by this?

There is or was shortage of Video Cards to the point that getting a video card at MSRP was impossible due to people just selling them on eBay. As more and more players such as Moore and Intel release cards it will help in the availability of video cards .

For those of us who don't follow closely, whats the ranking for deployment of these kinds of cards? I assume it is like this:

    1) bitcoin class Proof-of-Work time and power wasting in giant DC racks
    2) TPU class ML in giant DC racks
    3) gaming
    4) @home ML and bitcoin
If the supply chain dynamics for gamers puts them as low as I think they're fighting with @home bitcoin rig owners, when the real enemy is the number #1 slot.

I think what he's trying to say is that China wants to have GPU production ready before it happens, so that they are not left without technology once the sanctions kick in

Surely there are people of all different nationalities that share that thought? Seems weird to make it only about Americans.

nit: it would be other cryptocurrencies, not Bitcoin. Since the development of ASIC minors GPU Bitcoin mining has almost never been profitable.

Except it’s three or four generations behind in performance. The article compares it to a 1060 from Nvidia.

to a GeForce GTX 1070 in fact, 2 generations behind the current RTX 3070. All 3 generations are compared in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3Iq6pFUdvE

Volta (10x0 series), Ampere, Turing (16x0 & 20x0), then Lovelace (30x0).

While they likely are subject to government scrutiny and probably will have to heel to the government in case they want them to put in backdoors or something, one small fresh company (from 2020) does not signal CCCP policy, although they probably should if they were smart start some level of manufacturing separate from Taiwan. If it were part of a push directly from the government I'd understand that but it sounds like this is unique because they are the first and currently, only, company trying to make gpus. Otherwise this is a bad reading of things, that every single Chinese company is somehow the arm of the CCCP which is way too simplistic.
