If their progress on GPUs is anything to go by, it will take them at least a decade just to catch up to current DRAM state of the art. And it’s not like there was no incentive to build good GPUs for the last 10-15 years.
Of course they could get lucky, or could steal technologies to accelerate things, but I wouldn’t count on it happening quickly either way.
10 years is not a long time and once the cat is out of the bag it’s rather difficult to get it back in.
It was the same for other manufacturing. You can’t manufacture most commercial items at a competitive price not just because the difference in labor cost but because there’s simply nobody left that is capable of doing it at scale in the US or Europe.

I’m not happy with China getting this tech and potentially becoming a monopoly in consumer DRAM. But the other option right now is becoming a cloud slave for burgerlander billionaires that are actively fucking everyone in the world so what can I say?
This guy’s a hero! Go China!

My dude, most stuff is already manufactured in China, they’ve had a more or less a monopoly on consumer goods for decades, why is this really any different?

The fact that they already have a de-facto monopoly on consumer goods doesn’t mean I want them to have another one for other products.
