Good. As much as I don't like some things about China, but damn it they're really good at cutting down costs. I look forward to their version of Nvidia GPUs at half the price.


Are you in the US? Americans aren't going to get those, just like we aren't going get cheap Chinese electric cars.


Maybe not next year but it reminds me of 30 years ago when my grandfather found it offensive any American would buy a Toyota.

While it is hard to predict the future, a good bet is that global trade will win out in the end on a long time frame.

Arguably China doesn't have the technology required to manufacture 30-series GPUs with the yield or unit cost Nvidia did. I wouldn't hold my breath for Chinese silicon to outperform Nvidia's 40 or 50 series cards any time soon.
