> Arguably, China doesn't have the homegrown talent to do chip design

Dear lord.

1. Patterson and Hennessy revolutionised CPU design with little more than grad students

2. ARM recounts how Western Digital's design bureau was little more than a suburban house

3. Apple merrily makes its own CPUs

4. China has already made more than one CPU - mainly MIPS.

The good (or bad news) is we are all about to find out.



> Apple merrily makes its own CPUs

With the PA-RISC design team.


The acquired team was P.A. Semi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P.A._Semi

nothing to do with HP's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PA-RISC
