this chip trade war stuff is perplexing. It seems like the only long term outcome is accelerating China's capacity to manufacture computers. Like, the US could have had a few more decades of co-dependancy to coast on if they had just left alone.
I'm sure there's some greedy assholes out there with dollar signs in their eyes at the prospect of being able to raise prices in the future as trade wars increase chip scarcity. Those people will also probably be invested in china's chip manufacturing to cover all their bases.
Definitely some people who would be happy with covid-era chip scarcity and beyond. But hopefully risc-v can remain open source and gain momentum to unseat the dominance of us chips as a result. Besides we really don't need the most cutting edge chips for most useful applications today.
Well thank god we're not that smart, this thing needs to end now
