would it have any backdoor? https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2021-supermicro/ https://www.phonearena.com/news/xiaomi-browsers-have-backdoo...
Wasn't the Bloomberg story debunked?
Yes, there's been effectively no evidence for any of the claims.

#102So it's a card equal to the performance of the 2016 Nvidia cards (1060/70)

Probably, but I would imagine it would be a lower priority compared to NIC or CPU based backdoors. Considering that China controls most of the NIC supply, I doubt they would be too concerned about implementing a GPU based backdoor. I’m surprised that we still don’t have a cheap domestic Data Diode option. It is clear that only way to be secure is to never directly connect to internet.
Considering that China controls most of the NIC supply If you're referring to Realtek, that's Taiwanese.
And Intel might have have an opinion on the NIC supply numbers.

What rationale did the UK government use when approving Imagination being sold to a private equity firm controlled by the Chinese government?
None whatsoever - they don't care.

That company's GPU was used in a few of Intel's early Atom SoCs, and infamously lacked documentation and source code, unlike other Intel GPUs of the time. It was also dismal in performance and efficiency, lacking a blitter and other acceleration for 2D unlike nearly all PC GPUs since the original 8514. Ironically the source and docs were leaked many years ago, causing a lot of commotion in the OSS community; and more…
Do you have a link to more information on that XP driver?
It's been quite a few years now, I tried looking for it again with no success (Google's increasingly worse results don't help either) and I'd have to dig out the Atom box to check what the files were called...
There were plenty of these tiny Atom PCs sold cheaply and they ended up in lots of semi-embedded applications, which might be why the community was so motivated to make a driver, and possibly even the initial source leak was because of that.

> can create graphics card that appears to compete with what giants like NVDIA and AMD are offering. uh ... no. six teraflops is a card from 2017.
But the market is how it is. I'm on an 1050Ti. Even this would be an upgrade if price/power consumption is right. I have strong doubts about power consumption though.
well, if you want to say "competes with 2017 nvidia," that i could agree with
but i basically guarantee that they keep falling further and further behind.

#108Importantly, it appears some of their GPU comes from Imagination Technology. https://www.theinformation.com/articles/chinas-little-nvidia...

As we've seen with Russian money and influence over London... the UK government couldn't care less where their IP goes.

Yeah, but it would still be stuck at supporting something like DirectX 8 and OpenGL 1.3 (like the GeForce4). It would certainly be faster and more efficient but modern games and other software wouldn't run on it.
The hardware seems separate from the software interface. Projects like WINE can convert DirectX calls to OpenGL or Vulkan calls, so it seems like a driver update could support a newer interface if needed. For something that isn't supported at all like raytracing, those API calls would have to be dropped so you'd get a blank screen or only a UI. But something polygon-based, maybe you could drop the resolution and poly…
This isn’t entirely true. The software that a GPU supports (DX version, etc) is directly tied to certain specifics about the hardware. Have a look at the “Shader model comparisons” to see an example of this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Level_Shader_Language

#110It smells, China systematically prepare to seize Taiwan, so will got extremely hard sanctions, and they create their own CPUs, GPUs.
