Didn’t China just recently lie about their ability to do this? I suspect they aren’t as close as they claim
Source?
CCP lies about everything constantly, runs all businesses, and controls the media. This is extremely well documented.
I don’t have it handy but there were posts on one of the tech Lemmy communities about it. IIRC, they claimed to have sourced their own 5nm but a teardown revealed Taiwanese chips.
Don’t say shit you can’t back up you Americanoid
Go back to Reddit, spez
I have never seen any source saying China claimed they have produced their own 5nm chip. They just release the laptop and international media claimed the chip was homemade until found otherwise.
Just like the current 7nm chip in some huawei phones and tablet. It was just launched quietly and international media went and advertised it for them.
If you read the current article carefully you will notice it’s arstechnica and the parent article from the financial times making the claim of China having the 5nm chip not “China” itself.
It’s actually two people that are “familiar with the move” and whose names aren’t printed. I’m not super convinced by that tbh.
Secondly, if this company was actually close to this technology, why would they not be talking about it? This would be a huge boon for Chinese tech, and that’s not the type of thing that normally comes from two randos to an international organization and is usually like a press release or something.
US trying to cut China off from modern chips turned into a massive self own.
Cutting off the supply of a critical technology is a double-edged sword. Short-term sure you starve them of that technology. But now you’re encouraging them, with great urgency, to develop that technology stack domestically. Which they may not have done if it was readily, and cheaply available for import.
It’s a great thing from a technological perspective. Having more than one development group will drive innovation.
Engagement is almost always a better strategy. But an unhinged dictator wannabe and his Chinese counterpart start down the road to isolationism, it’s hard to find an off-ramp.
That’s great! I’ll believe it when I see it.
ikr? these news come out every month.
I hope they did and start driving down costs but if it isn’t mass produced and easily accessible, the news means fuck all for everyone but the CCP.
