China’s semiconductor industry is approaching self-sufficiency very quickly, even if they’re still a ways off.
The US banned Huawei from using chips with US patents. No wonder the chinese want to be self-sufficient in chip tech. https://technode.com/2020/08/18/us-expands-huawei-ban-to-third-country-chip-vendors/
Self-sufficiency is its own goal. The current cost of that is performance about a decade behind US-designed processors.
Yes, it is and I aaume they will catch up pretty fast.
The question is "self-sufficiency for what?" As it stands at the moment this give self-sufficiency for the CPUs used in higher-end military systems. Maybe that's the entirety of the aim. If their aim is longer then a non-typical ISA starts to be problematic.
In many ways our computer technology is run to make equipment for the US military, western militaries. Why would China be any different?
