I am posting this here because this thread is practically the general post corner of this forum.

I was looking at reports RAND wrote about PLA in 2015. It is quite incredible how much the PLA has changed and how wrong they were about the speed of modernization.

For example in 2015 this was the combat aircraft fleet. Maybe a few J-10C as AESA. Nothing else that is competitive to what the US fielded. And you can see these people thought the J-16 was just a Su-30 equivalent rather than a AESA wielding cutting-edge fighter. 900 4th gens in total... Now there are probably 850+ AESA-equipped fighters in the inventory on their own, ~230 being VLO.

And this is about the destroyer fleet. First of all missile ranges are wrong. The modern fleet consisted of 5 052C and a single 052D. Today there are 6 052C, 25 052D and 8 055. More in the way... Complete paradigm change in the seas.

It's not a very well written article but the last line is gold ...

"you get processor performance but at what cost." :D

The writer of the article is a secret undercover wumao?

This is probably TSMC's problem
TSMC was known to have 3nm teething issues, so much so that they are basically paying Apple to buy the capacity

(Also, if that yield is true, someone call up Gina!)

News also just came out that this CPU was originally planned to be manufactured using the N3E process that was not ready for production

Of course it does not help that Apple does not try have any fancy cooling apparatus for their handhelds (heatpipes, vapor chamber, etc.) to maintain the sense of style/fashion, instead relying on TSMC's ability to deliver on efficiency gains from node shrinks.

Tough words from a slave. This is no different to auxiliary helot slave soldiers complaining about not being able to rape and pillage as the regular angoo imperial soldiers get to do.
If the Indians want to be taken seriously they would kick out Anglo tech companies they did with Chinese tech companies but far too many Indian elites are compromised with having their wealth, family and extended H1B visa cousins in the anglosphere.

Just pop the popcorn and enjoy the show.
