“The major geopolitical significance has been to show that it is possible to completely design [without] U.S. technology and still produce a product that may not be quite as good as cutting edge Western models, but is still quite capable.” Miller says a considerable gap remains between SMIC’s capabilities and those of TSMC, the industry leader that produces the newest chips for companies like Apple.
Semiconductor manufacturing is a hell of a nut to crack. There was always a risk that China would eventually crack it, but I don’t think anyone expected it to happen within a year of the ban.
