Open source the drivers and you will get better performance.

It's early in the morning and I was like huh, I read:

China's first edible gaming CPU

A GPU from 2021 is better than anything I have and unlike nvidia they aren't complicit in genocide.

Kinda wild that the 3060 and the 5060 (the currently sold model) have similar performance, but the headlines always compare to the older discontinued one

You do realize they're only going to get better.

Nice, the 3060 is still very capable. Shame about Nvidia and their Cuda monopoly though.

Competition as last

The rtx 3060 is a fine gpu in 2026. Can it play modern aaa games in 4k ultra setting? No. But people just want cheap gpu's back no one wants to pay half a grand for an entry level card.

Im still gaming on a 3060 and can even the most modern games at 1080p low/med settings.

better than i expected, actually. software issues and optimization aside, they might be a couple of gens from pretty good. i wonder how they will be able to scale up production now.

as i remember, they are using an old process in a new way to get euv performance, but that's cutting on yields, right?

Man I'd love to be able to mesh around with the gaming scene in China.

Is 30,000 a lot for China? I feel like it might not be.

Also this is kind of the bottom line: "The LX 7G100 remains a poor buy for anyone chasing performance per dollar..."

My feelings:

• Neat.

• Future is interesting.

• But proof is not in the puddin’ yet.

It’s easy to say “they’ll scale it up. They’ll get to optimizing the software,” but I’ve seen waaay too many hardware makers mess up that step, and fade into the vast graveyard of their peers.

Like, does anyone remember Centaur’s exciting, 8 core x86 CPUs, with a huge block for ML inference, from about a decade ago?

It was competitive with Zen 1, not even counting the accelerator.

The answer is “probably not.” Even the Wikichip Fuse writeups on the architecture are gone.
