The redesigned with dual wafer stages as ASML does rather single ones and more powerful DUV lasers.
That Jeff Pao is a well known China hater "journalist" on Asia Times. Check his last 100 articles and I can guarantee to you that every single one of them is doom-posting about China
All in all I think the moment we have public statement that total indigenous 14nm launched is the time we can sight a breath of relief.
Indeed, I am an avid reader of Asiantimes and will skip anything written by Jeff. Spengler/David P. Goldman's articles are the real gems.
Sir within 3 years it will go up to 50-60%, just look at SMIC expansion plan, aside from SN2 which will be operation next year, they are building new FABS like there's no tomorrow, five of them, in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai Lingang, Shenzhen and recently in Chongqing. And you have to include Huawei, Huali and Huahong, heck with the restriction, Beijing may accelerate and achieved their goal of 70% Made In China 2025 initiative.
Copium and hopium from me. But the moment China can manufacture indigenous 7nm (not even EUV dependant), I'd expect US to add more sovietization of their tech. I'm not surprised if they will try to sanction RISC-V and force Intel/AMD to not implement RISC-V.
LMAO how are they going to sanction RISC-V? RISC-V is an open standard, the US can sanction however much they like, but they cant remove an open standard. Also forcing Intel/AMD to not use RISC-V is like the ultimate self-own. While RISC-V may not be used extensively as a main compute chip yet, it is still used extensively as a sub processor or microcontroller for specific applications. Then again, I highly doubt that Intel/AMD will ever go full RISC-V.
