No surprise. I imagine they'll just buy older and/or more stable stock. Worked on a three 50U rack recently with quad T4's per 2U and we're not even through 10% of that order yet.

T4 is great for some stuff. And total trash for many other things you might want A100/H100 for.

That wasn't my point.

We build servers, test them, and ship them (in the US). No fucks given on the technical superiority of the `A100/H100` than parts that may be a generation older.

I’m assuming the claims from anti-Chinese propaganda - Zenz et al - are true. It’s still not worse from what’s happening in US.

Again, wholly subjective. I'd say it's much worse. It's also hard to take anyone seriously who has 50 Cent Army in their profile when it comes to issues on China.

Given that US is imprisoning many more people, for largely commercial (slavery) and racial reasons, how is China worse? I'm genuinely interested in your arguments here.

"Protect Taiwan" isn't the core issue is it? It's the production of chips which is the rate of technological growth and mantel of "technological supremacy."

It is the core issue. The importance of TSMC has been vastly exaggerated. In case of war their factories would be destroyed anyway. Remove TSMC and the importance of Taiwan remains exactly the same. If the USA doesn't protect Taiwan it'll be their Suez canal moment. The moment the British and the French realized they were not great powers anymore.

Remove TSMC and where does the chip supply come from?

Yes I read the book as well. US already has inside chaos (and will get way way, way way, way way worse), don't need to worry about other countries chaos.

hope not i wouldn't want the CCP being the global leader...but in the end we got rid of Nazi Germany we will do the same with CCP China.

hmmm so CPP is good? not sure why the down votes?

Is the US imprisoning more? I wasn't aware we had accurate numbers on camps in Xinjiang and prisons in China.

Let me know when anyone is actually allowed to verify what is happening there, until then comparisons are useless.
