Qualcomm rushes with performance too much and that causes overheating. Other manufacturers are a bit behind but at least the performance is stable
Not even a competitor, but a company that almost died a few years ago because it was locked from buying chips for its products.
Afaik (and I think my info is more trustworthy because I don't live in the China's enemy country) Huawei never died or nearly died. It always had its internal market which didn't get affected by the sanctions at all
Huawei's doing great. Plus, there's a big push in China to consider RISC-V & Linux to reduce dependence on US-based tech like Windows, so seems like all good things
Yeah, I saw a documentary about Huawei being the biggest pig meat supplier in china among other things. I meant technologically speaking. Huawei was really big here so I followed what was happening to them after the US cut of their supply of ARM chips. Chinese chips weren't really the best at that time so even with the big internal market, they had to hibernate their technology sector until they started making good enough chips, and it paid off. Their tech is on par with the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 already. US sanctioning China, forcing it become a real competitors in the chip making industry ended being a Good thing for freedom of the market.
Makes sense. Sanctioning powerful economies never ends well for the one that sanctioned. Though the US fully deserved it so nicely done, Huawei
Huawei didn't even come close to dying.
