gamers rise up
ipad was released and it was too expensive. i remember my first chineese tablet. i bought a small tablet from aliexpress. its not great or terrible now they are really good. so they will cath im sure.
Been running Yeston 2gb gpus with AMD chips for a while with no problem. I’d buy the same with SMIC chips as long as a) it lowers the price b) has Linux drivers c) works with Ryzen CPUs.
xi, please bro never asked nothing of you
Unfortunately this is irrelevant unless
-
There are several independent reviews confirming the performance figures
-
These GPUs are widely available to a global market
Even then, we can see with modern trends that Nvidia maintains a passive market lead because they are the default choice because they have a market lead, because they are the default choice, ad infinitum
As we saw with Intel GPUs performance isn’t even the main issue, it’s the drivers. How many games will run on it without crashing or having bizarre performance problems?
A few years ago you could’ve said exact same thing about BYD and Tesla.
Tesla is crap though.
They are, but they used to be considered the gold standard for EVs. Then Chinese companies ramped up production and left Tesla in the dust.
This is about quality, not quantity.
Byd destroys Tesla’s quality, but then again, any brand does, Tesla is rock bottom

Hell yeag! If China manages to at least put pressure on Nvidia and AMD it would already be great.
I built a PC earlier this year which should last me a long, long time. I fully expect my next one to come almost entirely from China
It always did ;)
Huawei had Ascend gpus for a while, so I would not call this the first.
Aren’t those AI chips, as opposed to gaming GPUs?
There isn’t a real difference between AI and Gaming. For example 3090 is supposedly a gaming GPU, but is great for training/fine-tuning stable diffusion models.
Geekbench did some testing a month ago, and came up with ‘comparable to a gtx 660.’
Yeah that’s mentioned in the article, hopefully the new run is representative of an overall improved software situation and they’re not specifically targeting geekbench results.
But then I guess even if they are targeting geekbench then this run is representative of the performance of the GPU if they’re able to optimize for specific games anyways.
Also don’t worry about the spyware tracing everything negative you might say about the CPC…
You discuss the CPC while playing video games? Weird flex, but okay.
Even if China were doing that, what would they do with the information? Nothing, because they don’t give a shit about you, because you’re on the other side of the planet. They’re not doing that because they’re not cartoon villains wasting their time and effort on nefarious plots against Western randos.
Also, almost all of your current hardware came from China, so I guess you’re not actually that worried about it.
GPUs being able to spy on you is a problem. Linux and OSs should work on ways to minimise this possibility. But specifically worrying about them ratting you out to the CPC is in my opinion much less serious than spying on you for commercial interests. Ultimately it’s possible to avoid visiting China if you aren’t Chinese. Including Chinese websites.
Even if they traced your CPC complaints, they’re literally so far away from you to even matter while the US is literally next to you and has threatened to annex you ffs 😂 assuming you’re canadian, by your instance
Yeah! Only American based companies are allowed to spy on us!
Thank you for taking your valuable time away from huffing gas to grace us with your deep and profound insights.
Don’t worry, the US govt will proudly sell the opportunity for palantir or some other bullshit AI surveillance company to embed spyware into your hardware to ensure you’re not a terrorist*
*someone critical of the trump regime
Even if that were true, it’d be better than spyware tracing everything to the US Empire. What’s China going to do to me when I live in the US?
gestures at the Trump administration
wait what? you can’t possibly be this imbecile, really? You’re insinuating that China, the main target of Trump tariffs and warmongering, is responsible for Trump? 😭
At least follow the script, Trump administration is because of the damn Russians…
What does China have to do with this?
JUST IN: In a surprise twist, foreigners to blame for this one too!
That’s this years Pulitzers and Peabodys sorted
I don’t see what this has to do with Trump or data collected by GPUs.
