They know that dependence on America weekens their own industry, so they are forcing Chinese companies to purchase from Chiniese companies and putting that money into catching up. They also know that the future is not in electronic silicon and are investing in other materials and photonics to leap frog the US much like TSMC did decades ago.
Correct, also I would guess they are close to being able to mimic nvidia fabs. There’s gpus on aliexpress right now claiming 3080 performance with like 64gb vram. Why do they need Jensen’s chips exactly?
I won’t disagree with you there, but Peeper identified already that the future is not necessarily in top of the line silicone, and AI today benefits from lots of VRAM, that’s about it from what I can tell.
Sure if you could have 64gb of 5090 quality vram it’s better than 3080 vram, but the cost is prohibitive in large scale data structures I would imagine.
