    Toms hardware would likely have said the same thing about early EV cars from China about 5 years ago

      I mean… They would have been right 5 years ago. But then they caught up and are showing some other manufacturers up.

      Similarly here, Chinese manufacturers are making progress, and as usual they’re catching up quite well. In a few years I fully expect to see actual competition, and competition benefits everyone.

        It’s a stupid misdirection. What should be celebrated is the achievement and the trajectory they’re on. This is as if the US finally took renewables seriously, reached at least the global average, and people were like “it doesn’t matter because there are countries that do a 100%”. No - context absolutely does matter.

      I think it was a few decades ago ATI/AMD was outperforming Nvidia.

      So weirder things have happened.
