It is more of a regulatory capture byproduct to prop up an artificial token driven Ponzi scheme.

There is a serious alternative to NVIDIA "AI" hardware dropping out of China in February 2027. There is no moat, but a whole lot of unpaid debts in the near future.

Popcorn ready =3

Which Chinese alternative is that?

  • Huawei is upgrading its Ascend 950PR (2.8 times an Nvidia H20 performance.)

    Take it lightly until the benchmarks drop. ymmv =3

    • I honestly have no expert knowledge about this stuff. What I say is based only on intuition.

        - China is heavily, heavily incentivised to enhance their own chip making
        - Looking at the rate Chinas has expanded into just about every single other
          space, and from quantity to quality, I just think it is impossible that they
          don't compete on equal grounds pretty soon.
        - I don't buy the insurmountable moat of TSMC

    • Reminiscent of tank warfare in WW2. The soviet T-34 was not remarkable in any particular way, but the sheer volumes it was produced in made it a very serious enemy to German tanks. As Stalin said "quantity has a quality all of its own".
