Importantly, it appears some of their GPU comes from Imagination Technology. https://www.theinformation.com/articles/chinas-little-nvidia...
That seems to be about an AI chip. This is a GPU.

Even if relies on TSMC and IP-blocks purchased from other companies - it is still cool that a 2-year old startup can create graphics card that appears to compete with what giants like NVDIA and AMD are offering.
there is no price, there is no power usage, the rated fp32 is roughly on par with a video card that is 6 years old now. unless it's crazy efficient (at 12nm I doubt it), I wouldnt say it's competing with the giants.
Maybe it'll have Linux drivers.

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).
10x0 was Pascal, Volta was Quadro only (Titan V), 16x0 and 20x0 are Turing, 30x0 is Ampere and Lovelace is Quadro only at the moment.

#124would it have any backdoor? https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2021-supermicro/ https://www.phonearena.com/news/xiaomi-browsers-have-backdoo...
I hope the Communist Party of China doesn't steal my sick Fortnite strategies.

Yes, today Tesla is a classic all-American name. I really doubt that many people heard about this obscure guy called Nikola Tesla.
Even when he was working, the majority of his output was as a naturalized American Citizen, on American soil. Tesla is as classicly an American name as Edison, Eisenhower, Truman or Monroe - It's an immigrant name from a country of immigrants.
In case anyone reading this is interested in specific historical information the origins of the listed last names in order are English, German, English, and Gaelic
Here's a census of immigrants roughly around the time Tesla was working in the U.S. (1910's), showing the relative percentages from each region (a point of comparison which is not even accounting for the ones who came from the above regions before this time): https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/1910/...
It's good to read the facts of history rather than hear trite historical narratives. In this case, it seems inbound immigrants from the Balkans made up just 1.6% in the 1910's.
I'm pretty sure the intention of saying a last name is "all-American" is to comment on the relative statistical frequency of it in a population at any given time, since that is a name people in another country (like China) would associate and know because of their likelihood of seeing it. But again, a lot of people discuss historical narratives rather than historical facts, so the above poster is not uncommon in continuing that tradition of pushing a trendy idea rather than discussing facts and information.

Who cares? Intellectual property frankly makes no sense if you don’t worship money.
Who doesn't worship money? Let's not kid ourselves. We all worship money to a degree where we understand how the concept of intellectual property incentivizes the creation of "intellectual property."

#127It 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.
Ending the consumption of Russian vodka is an excellent economic protest move in fact, along with all of their other exports (many of which Biden has already begun neutering).
Of course that's not what your comment was reaching for.

#128If they're available at anything near MSRP I'd be interested. I've been using the same GPU since 2015. I've been interested in upgrading for several years now, but prices have been consistently insane all that time.

#129For 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 s…
nit: it would be other cryptocurrencies, not Bitcoin. Since the development of ASIC minors GPU Bitcoin mining has almost never been profitable.
good nit. The principle being the same: its compute at scale in DC which is consuming these cards, it has almost nothing to do with painting pretty 3D in consumers eyeballs.

If you're reading a tech news coming out of China, and aren't thinking about politics, you're doing something wrong.
Every tech company in China is in part owned or supported by the chinese government. Hard to talk about "independent tech". They're more like "national tech".
Today and the next 50 years in tech is being defined by the competition between the two superpowers. Their national objectives differ vastly. China: aiming to invade Taiwan; proving everyone that their totalitarian system is competitive with democracy; proving that they can lead the world. US aiming to stay a leader; maintaining the global stability; maintaining the economic & military supremacy. Both economies are trying to slowly decouple from each other, gain independence, and prove their superiority. This is the story of our ages.
