    China launches exascale supercomputer prototype

    Umm.... No. Firstly, it is ludicrous to talk about 10E, when Chinese machines have barely touched 0.1E right now, and these ones are few Petaflops. Second, three "prototypes" have been built. How many will be approved forwards hasn't yet been decided. Finally, these four centers are all...

    China Dominates the World TOP500 Supercomputers

    Umm... No. The earliest timeline for this exa-scale machine to be built is actually 2021. So till then, US remains definitely in lead. Also, US is also developing its own exa-scale machine that is to be released around the same time. Umm.. No. Right now only 3 exa scale prototypes have been...

    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    Few points for people who don't know much about the industry: SMIC has now been promising 14nm FinFET production for many years. You can go back in this very thread to look up all their past claims, none of which have come to any fruition. Even if one were to take their claim as they say it...

    Trump says working with Xi to save telecom giant ZTE

    This is incredibly hilarious. The loss to American companies is actually comparatively little, and most of their orders will just shift to other vendors anyways. It is not like the overall demand for smartphones will decrease.

    To advance in self-driving, China depends on US technology

    Don't try to project here. Do you have any problem with what the article itself noted? It is a fact that Chinese lidar suppliers are multiple generations behind Velodyne. I can bet you don't even know who Chinese lidar suppliers are, so I'll tell you, they are primarily Hesai, and Robosense...

    Baidu’s self-driving cars require more human intervention than Alphabet’s Waymo

    I asked who else is better than Baidu, not who else is trying to hitch a self-driving ride. This company has no prior experience at AI, and has just begun testing, compared to Baidu who has been doing that now for years. In fact, Tu Simple is one of the firms that is far better than this firm.

    Baidu’s self-driving cars require more human intervention than Alphabet’s Waymo

    How did you assume again that I know nothing about AI? Ummm... the US has been testing the autonomous vehicles for so long that some incidents are bound to happen. Well. You don't seem to be aware of the industry. US, and California, were pretty much the first to open up driving tests for...

    Baidu’s self-driving cars require more human intervention than Alphabet’s Waymo

    Baidu, the leader in Chinese efforts at developing self driving tech, is WAY WAY behind Waymo, the Google subsidiary. The Americans have deliberately created hype of Chinese AI, to receive more funding, and people here believe what they say is true. @qwerrty @cirr @cnleio @TaiShang

    Rise of the machines: China looks to become global leader in robotics

    Using all core parts sourced from Japanese vendors. Also, Ubtech's products are hardly leading edge.

    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    Where are they getting their Flash Memory from? Also, in the english translation, as far as I can understand, they have made no claims on the actual memory. It seems this product is just made by a company who has done the system integration part, not the core memory itself. I don't know how...

    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    Yes, because those ASICs are meant to be that. FPGAs are flexible, and are not limited to AI usage. They can handle flexible work flows and demands. FPGAs, are a different class of products than ASICs. An ASIC is purposely designed to handle a certain type of algorithm or task, and hence gives...

    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    Umm.. really.... Please tell me where? Deephi makes its NPUs. Horizon Robotics is making edge computing ASICs for image and video analysis. Bitmain, is again making some AI ASICs. Cambricon again is making AI ASICs. Alibaba makes nothing as yet, but is developing its own Ali NPUs...

    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    Except these are not the only components required. Also, there are also a lot of software systems required where China is usually even weaker. And then there are components where America has near monopoly. Like FPGA for example.

    China's electric carmakers bloom at Beijing auto show

    NIO is more of a global startup. The startup's whole software, driver assistance, AI driven driving, are all developed in the USA. The cars interiors are designed by German branch.

    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    You said the same before, when you said that 14nm would be ready in 2016. I have just heard the whole investor conference call of SMIC of the past quarter, and they don't talk anything about 14nm this year. Also, placing an order for 2019 is actually indicative that things will take time...

    Where's the 14nm you talk about? First it was supposed to happen by 2016.

    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    It seems that you don't really know how significant a business foundries are, and how high tech they are. In fact, Taiwan still has better chip companies even on the design side in some areas. (but I do expect China to surpass them soon) Also, South Korea is a giant in Display, and Memory...

    Opinionated - China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance

    I was just going through this thread again, and I see this statement on the first page itself! Needless to say that 14nm isn't even within sight two years later! So basically SMIC completely failed on its own target to deliver technology. It promised in 2014 that it would have 14nm FinFet...

    Chinese tech companies spooked about becoming 'next ZTE'

    Dominant, in a competitive field, usually implies being better in some capability, which usually means technology. Qorvo and Skyworks are simply better at their tech, or the price/performance than their competitors. As for Intel, intel's chips are energy hungry, and are performance...
