ELI5 Intel's new chip offerings

T-34 was the mass produced one.
There was such a beast as a T-43...on paper. Prototype...but never made it to production in WWII....it was cancelled.

Ahh yes, you're right had the numbers flopped. Still, that junk was nuts...

Crew loses a tank, runs to the factory... gets in a new one... drives to the lines... loses it again... repeat. Conscripts lined up around the block as replacements... wild stuff.

it's clear that something about him makes me quite unhinged so...

Don't put the blame on me, darlin'. You own this one yourself!

I could have sworn the Marketbeat article I linked stated they were chinese.

Nope. But heaven knows if you read enough you eventually end up conflating something, and your track record in NOT doing this is very good indeed. It happens to the best of us.

But the moment I saw your post and the name "Sumitomo Mitsui" my mind went straight to Japan.

I'll pull the old "still catching up on sleep from all of the hurricane cleanup/relocating/relocating again" excuse!

Intel and Boeing seem parallel to me. Many years ago their success was driven by an engineering culture. Then the bean counters began taking over. And the rest is history as they say. I look for both to get bailed out by the Feds because USA can't afford either shutting down.

I totally missed the Nvidia thing because I've always disliked their products for no logical reason. But they went from nailing the crypto mining craze to the AI compute tsunami. Wouldn't want to bet against them right now.

FWIW, I think Taiwan TSMC is safe for the next 4 years. PRC is not likely to test the Trump. He just might be crazier than they are.

Within the next four years regardless of who is President China will not be able to overtake the US military. It very much will not be able to overtake the Japanese and US militaries with Australian backup. China has won in the ~10 year time frame at this point from what I can see, perhaps 20.

But should India mobilize things start to shift, much less Myanmar and the other nations in the area. For the time being yes, the "West" have the power to project to be a deterrent, but every day that goes by that deterrent weakens. That's why our relationship with India matters so much, and they wish to stay neutral so they can make money off both sides. A truth that I economically understand, but China is no friend to India, so their willingness to dance with the devil in this case confuses me.

I was rather shocked at China's... softening as soon as Trump was elected. But I don't think that's due to military strength, or regional influence. I think that's simply due to their attempt to maintain their 1 trillion dollar trade surplus which is greatly dependent on selling to the US and the EU. With both regions electing nationalist, and dare I say fascists into power... that dynamic changes. China itself is extremely fascist.

The places left that are actually free are dwindling.

Oh boy, the soros media has won you.

According to Peter Zeihan, China has a terrible future with demographic collapse looming. If their leadership decides to go out in a blaze of glory then the world becomes a very dangerous place. Zeihan has a questionable track record but he's not the first to say that demography is destiny.

I expect every prediction of an economic collapse to be incorrect. Russia is still going, China is still going, even the US... still going.

Economies are notoriously difficult to predict.
