Am I missing something? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ink@r.nf -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) are you surprised they didn't tell you? They probably released a PR in their own language, in their own country that no one bothered to cover. Because claiming east is moving ahead in technology (despite sanctions) causes people to feel bad things in their gut. As demonstrated by the downvotes without arguments on this post. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) Achievements are achievements. It was mostly likely not publicized because the CCP saw strategic advantage in having an ability that the West didn't know about. Now that it's out there, expect the typical central party spin machine to crank up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago Interesting points, folks.

It was launched without any fanfare and only discovered by TechInsights a year later. https://www.techinsights.com/blog/smic-7nm-truly-7nm-technology-how-it-compares-tsmc-7nm permalink fedilink source parent
