It already has. Since the US banned Huawei it has just used the open source part of Android to develop it’s own OS, which now is more popular than iOS within China and growing outside of China. It’s funny to me that people are doubting it’s going to take off this year and get the app diversity that Huawei wants for it. Keep doubting Chinese companies, westerners.
Chinese chips are already viable for daily consumer computing (admittedly this is a broad definition). It is important to remember that Moore’s law applies to Chinese advancement in semiconductor development just as it did for everyone else with the added exception that much of this technology does not have to be independently developed for the Chinese. They already know how most of it is done because these advancements are part of the public scientific record. For them, it’s a matter of developing the processes to scale for manufacturing. So within the next 5 years I firmly believe we will see Chinese developed chips that are on parity with AMD and Intel. China does not throw tens to hundreds of billions of dollars into the development of something without staggering results and that is what they have done with domestic chip R&D. Everyone is saying 10 years, but China has proven time and again to beat expectations at double the pace when they are pressured.
Please China, use this opportunity to expand your market presence and export those homemade chips to the rest of the world.
I want to play La Witcherina IV and my computer needs an upgrade. I don’t want to sell a kidney just for an overpriced Nvidia GPU.
Now, seriously, it’s incredible how the Yankees keep shooting themselves in the foot.
