Chinese GPU maker Lisuan Tech becomes only the fourth GPU maker ever to earn Microsoft WHQL certification — LX 7G100 GPU joins Nvidia, AMD, and Intel

WHQL certification could help put Lisuan Tech's 6nm GPUs on the map.

So this is going to cause a bit of a panic so one of two things will happen:

  1. Nvidia, AMD and Intel all massively cut the prices of their GPUs to try to make it so Lisuan can't compete
  2. Nvidia, AMD and Intel give Donald Trump a big bag of money and demand they ban Lisuan GPUs from being used anywhere in western supply chains.

My money is on number 2.

I smell a lucrative black market brewing...

Until the West stops restricting lithography machines, or China develops their own advanced lithography machines, we likely won't see Chinese GPUs for sale in our markets.

I'm personally hoping China has a breakthrough on lithography machines to break ASML's monopoly and fuck over all these extremely rich companies, but we're not going to see anything like that happen for 10 plus years.

But in 10 years, oh boy, we're gonna have so much cheaper China tech, it'll be awesome.

In the current climate, it doesn't seem like he'd have the power to ban it anywhere but the US

Neither of these will happen because the little available data online indicates that it a) sucks in comparison to other GPUs and b) will likely not even be sold outside of China. They are using TSMC's 6nm for manufacture because they can't use anything more modern due to sanctions.

The LX 7G100 is comparable to the 4060, I am running a 5700 XT, if the price on the LX 7100 is good I would be tempted to jump on it. Just because they're forced to use old technology standards, doesn't mean it's bad tech.
