I built a PC earlier this year which should last me a long, long time. I fully expect my next one to come almost entirely from China
It always did ;)
Yeah no, i still prefer being spied on by the US over being spied on by China.
Better yet, get me a computer that has only open source hardware, one that I can finally call my own

Or by a government committing genocide on subsets of it’s citizens? A government that has disappeared citizens for decades for bit falling in line? Yeah, the US does that now too but at least it’s just starting. At least the US has had some sort of free press until recently. Good luck with any of that in China
Also, you missed the part where I said that nobody should be able to spy on me, we need open source hardware. That is the much bigger point. The US and China both suck, I don’t want to have to deal with either
Westerners continue to be the most propagandised people on the planet

Oh come on, really now? Uyghurs. Let’s start there?
And yes, all that is happening, and no, China is notoriously NOT cooperating, and yes, they have a reach as even uyghurs in Europe are followed when they try and speak out.
None of this is controversial, this is well established. Then again you’re one of those “I did my research, I read a Facebook page!” type skeptics that always come up with these weird requirements that can’t be met before you’ll believe anything that doesn’t match your warped world view.
China is committing genocide on Uyghurs, that is established fact. If you don’t want to believe that, fine, but I would like to let you know that I have a bridge I can sell you at great discount!

Sure, I can give you sources but just your “prove it beyond reasonable doubt” tells me that it doesn’t matter what I give you, you won’t even read it, you just want “China great”
I mean, I have no problem whatsoever with seeing that the US is fucking evil, because it is. Yet for you, the mere notion that China might not be the perfect paradise seems impossible to grasp
Makes me wonder, are you one of those Chinese government funded shills?
I’ll send you reading materials if you like but I honestly doubt you have any interest in expanding your knowledge at al.
Why? The US spying on you has far more likely to actually affect you
Hell yeag! If China manages to at least put pressure on Nvidia and AMD it would already be great.
Been running Yeston 2gb gpus with AMD chips for a while with no problem. I’d buy the same with SMIC chips as long as a) it lowers the price b) has Linux drivers c) works with Ryzen CPUs.
Huawei had Ascend gpus for a while, so I would not call this the first.
Aren’t those AI chips, as opposed to gaming GPUs?
There isn’t a real difference between AI and Gaming. For example 3090 is supposedly a gaming GPU, but is great for training/fine-tuning stable diffusion models.
Unfortunately this is irrelevant unless
-
There are several independent reviews confirming the performance figures
-
These GPUs are widely available to a global market
Even then, we can see with modern trends that Nvidia maintains a passive market lead because they are the default choice because they have a market lead, because they are the default choice, ad infinitum
A few years ago you could’ve said exact same thing about BYD and Tesla.
Tesla is crap though.
They are, but they used to be considered the gold standard for EVs. Then Chinese companies ramped up production and left Tesla in the dust.

Byd destroys Tesla’s quality, but then again, any brand does, Tesla is rock bottom

Geekbench did some testing a month ago, and came up with ‘comparable to a gtx 660.’
gamers rise up
Also don’t worry about the spyware tracing everything negative you might say about the CPC…
Even if that were true, it’d be better than spyware tracing everything to the US Empire. What’s China going to do to me when I live in the US?
Thank you for taking your valuable time away from huffing gas to grace us with your deep and profound insights.
Even if they traced your CPC complaints, they’re literally so far away from you to even matter while the US is literally next to you and has threatened to annex you ffs 😂 assuming you’re canadian, by your instance
GPUs being able to spy on you is a problem. Linux and OSs should work on ways to minimise this possibility. But specifically worrying about them ratting you out to the CPC is in my opinion much less serious than spying on you for commercial interests. Ultimately it’s possible to avoid visiting China if you aren’t Chinese. Including Chinese websites.
Even if China were doing that, what would they do with the information? Nothing, because they don’t give a shit about you, because you’re on the other side of the planet. They’re not doing that because they’re not cartoon villains wasting their time and effort on nefarious plots against Western randos.
Also, almost all of your current hardware came from China, so I guess you’re not actually that worried about it.
