See, this is what I don't understand. Couldn't you just run more of these chips in parallel with some software optimization if you wanted to achieve the same performance as the A100. I couldn't tell from the article, but based on how quickly Nvidia throttled it, was it a software throttling of an A100 to downgrade to an A800? If so, whats stopping someone in China from basically "unlocking" it with the right skills?

or possibly nVidia itself providing a tool to them how to unlock it discreetly ;)

No.

You understand it.

This is the problem. It is reality. No point in explaining reality over and over again.

You saw stupidity of it. That is all that there is to it. Nothing else to say.

Bro an example China had a massive need for 7nm tech which TSMC had an underutilization, so as Forrest Gump use to say "Stupid is as Stupid Does". ;)

That's a good news.
Don't invest in the old plant! Let Elmos loose the 85 Mio. Euro and lay-off the people at the plant.
0.35 um processes. lol.
@tokenanalyst @hvpc @FairAndUnbiased @WTAN @BoraTas @latenlazy, what is a Particle Core Technology? What is their usage? and can it bypassed the need for an EUVL?

From the Video, it had stated China achievement and the futility of America led restriction.

1) the goal of made in China 2025 of achieving 70% domestic production are on track with mature technology up to 14nm leading the way. This in turn will reduce imports as shown by recent Taiwan trade figure with the Mainland as TSMC is mulling to add capacity in 16nm and 28nm chip node in China as they are struggling to attract customer on their advance 3nm chips.

2) The rise of SMIC as they challenge TSMC, they are in the goldilocks zone as Auto Chip (the most advance BCD process the 55nm chip) demand are skyrocketing coupled with their new 7nm Chip capacity.

3) the construction of Photonic chip FAB

4) and lastly TFME had achieved breakthrough in 5nm Particle Core Technology.

idk it seems like a proprietary architecture or software, I only know etch/deposition and some chemical/physical metrology.

capacity utilization that low means they're probably burning millions an hour keeping the line open.

Fog of chip war.

It is kind of stupid, you know, brother ansy1968.

The chip war is between China and America.

People like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, they all take the attitude it is not their war, they are not part of it.

That is stupid. It is a war. There is the fog of war. They are fucking part of it whether they fucking like it or not. Let's not fucking forget who fucking started it. LOL!

At least the Europeans knew. They knew they were at part of it, that war, when Russia rolled the tanks into Ukraine.

However, they overestimated themselves, underestimated Russia, now the Europeans face mass protest over freezing in the winter and inflation.

Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, when the chip war broke out, they ran away figuratively speaking. Uncle Sam, is like, "You can run but you cannot hide! Come to daddy!"

:oops:

Bro remember the previous post about their 4 euvl sitting idle, with this recent news maybe we expect more and what about their 7nm expansion plan in Kaohsiung, will it continue?
