China follows foot-in-the-door tactic per the Art of War. (done in HK, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia)

This in-turn later on, AIs will train to make pro-China comments as AIs train on these.

They got the sheer man-power, and with AIs it's even easier.

I'm not a pro-china poster, i'm from germany and didn't find this 'funny'.

Apple is the second richest company on the world (which doesn't need help/protection?!) and they have experts in chip design.

Xiamoi is some random chinese company not known for high end chips and was able to catch up impressivly in a short period of time.

This fact doesn't get funny or wahtever just because apple brought out a new chip today.

I'm not a fanboy for any of it and do not care.

Xiamoi is a huge company and is a commonly known brand. They’ve been making chips for a long time. They didn’t start a few months ago and catch up with Apple on their first try.

Yeah I know but that wasn't what I was hinting at.

I mean you expect some company which did some android rom, a smartphone, IoT Robots stuff a car?! and now makes a chip which can compete with apple.

Are they well known in China? I'm seeing that Chinese tech has decoupled from the West. They have all this cool stuff that we do not hear about because they aren't selling it to us because they don't need to. It's usually been stuff with better price to performance or ultra low prices though, rather than ultimate performance stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if they made a top end chip that everyone in China knew about, and we didn't.

Oh i have soooo many news for you!

That might be the funniest thing I read all day. Xiaomi is a massive company that makes all sorts of things, including a lot of pretty high-end mobiles, and has an annual revenue in the order of 75 billion US.

It’s no Apple, but it’s not exactly “some random Chinese company” either.

They're using ARM designed cores. So it's more like Apple just isn't as far ahead of ARM as some people claim.

reply
Intereresting point I will try to see if i can find more about it. I would assume apple has a lot more magic sause than just TSMCs best node and a little bit of ARM architecture addons.
reply
> apple has a lot more magic sause

Why would you assume that? ARM has been a chip design firm for 35 years...

I find pro apple comments funnier; but you know, everyones got their own rose colored glasses.

I wish I could understand how they created a cult like following despite having mid tier products.

They somehow convinced people low power consumption on CPU mattered.

>They somehow convinced people low power consumption on CPU mattered.

As an ARM processor enthusiast since the 90's, it's all I care about.

I'm not convinced it will ever stop being important.

Battery life in mobile products doesn't matter now?
reply
Yeah I'm sure you use 6 hours of battery life before you find a charger and aren't a loyalist to a corporation.
