This, too, had been foretold China can produce 14nm chips at scale, soon at near-arbitrary scale, since they can make 14nm DUV machines Remains to be seen if @gwern is proven right on them having missed the crucial time window, too
Huawei is also not the only one pursuing this. Orient Computing Core 东方算芯 came out of stealth just before WAIC, touting 4nm-equivalent performance on 14nm nodes thanks to folding techniques in hardware and software. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/gg2OqGEdl-lGQFrindYd1w A rival designer rep I spoke to said with great sincerity "these guys are the real deal"
520 TFLOPS at BF16 – OK maybe memory figures are a bit insane, there must be a catch I guess the catch is they say nothing about memory *volume* neither about TDP but that's less interesting @zephyr_z9
