Chinese semiconductor thread II

Is there any reason beside domestic chips is not as advanced as NVIDIA chips yet? I believe Alibaba and ByteDance or Deepseek would love buy a domestic alternarive if they are as good as NVIDIA, not to mention CUDA is basically what run AI nowadays.

China's top domestic AI chip designers (like Cambricon) already have chips that outperform NVIDIA's H20.

New information:

The EUV prototype machine will likely begin acceptance testing around September (possibly at the national level). The acceptance process will likely extend beyond a month.
The initial production capacity of the current EUV production line is only about 1/8-1/10 that of comparable TSMC lines. Plans aim to increase capacity to half within 1-1.5 years (this refers to throughput capacity, not yield rates). Afterward, it will enter industrial pilot production.
The current phase can be understood as equivalent to the flight testing phase in aircraft development (which typically lasts 4-6 years). This will be followed by small-scale initial production ("Block 1") before achieving true mass production

Is this the EUV machine that produce 2-3nm chips?
