    I’m unsurprised that they have the tech. Whether or not their process has a high enough yield to be commercially viable remains to be seen, however.

      More to the point, it’s good that there exists an alternative to the ARM+Qualcomm platform, for commerical as well as technological competition. Natsec-based sledgehammer measures probably aren’t an efficient way to achieve this, but oh well.

    Imagine achieving this while being blocked by western anti competition moves.

    No wonder the US is running scared. This is what China is able to do while handicapped. Imagine what would happen if we let them realize their full potential?
