From now on, remember that whenever you buy an Intel processor, you fund the US fascist regime.
You must log in or # to comment.
It seems the American regime can’t toss out decades of economic orthodoxy fast enough.
Next stop, setting quotas for the numbers of transistors on a CPU.
For better or worse, China is on the verge of making American silicon completely irrelevant. I know that because I’m posting this on an ARM64 laptop rocking a Rockchip compute module and it’s plenty adequate enough for most people’s everyday needs.
Therefore, whatever Trump has in mind to artificially maintain the US’ lead will soon be completely ineffective. Worse, the more he tries to restrict access to US technology, the faster China will develop its own equivalent and the sooner it will catch up. And hopefully, at some point, the European countries will get off their collective ass and start catching up too.
The US is on the fast track to losing this war and a lot of others. This is a country in terminal decline.
Extreme conservatism is not compatible with technological progress. You can’t be fundamentally against education and support silicon industry.
And hopefully, at some point, the European countries will get off their collective ass and start catching up too.
I thought that was the point of the chips act
In her 2021 State of the Union speech, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen set the vision for Europe’s chip strategy, to jointly create a state-of-the-art European chip ecosystem. This will include production, as well as connecting the EU’s world-class research, design and testing capacities. And already in her 2022 State of the Union speech, President von der Leyen highlighted that the first chips gigafactory in Europe will break ground in the coming months.
I duno if anything came of it though?
Ok, but like … it took Trump of all them bad humans to end free megacorp bailouts?
Man that’s weird in that context.
