Are you saying there's no technological advantage to smaller chips allowing you to fit more processing power in the same space. Key word advanced. Same reason a computer that used to fit a house, now fit in your palm. There is advantage to that in every sphere, even in military

i actually thought the wars for processor superiority were between TSMC and samsung

They make the chips using technology on licence from ASML

⚡️🇷🇺 Russian oil exports back to pre-Special Operation levels despite West's crippling sanctions.

Crude oil and oil products exports were at highest level in March since April 2020, increasing by 600,000 barrels a day - International Energy Agency (IEA).

Moscow's revenue from oil exports last month stood at $12.7 billion.

Appleyard:


Sanctions in deed. It's Europe that is suffering.

i see. so basically ASML design and TSMC/ Samsung fabricate.

does this also apply to intel and AMD processors? designed by them and fabricated by TSMC/Samsung

Russia has it own chip factory.

That is why I said you should read up on Moore's law. Military equipment and weapons don't care about space. A small bomb can easily weigh 200kg. That's enough space to fit a microchip irrespective of the size.

And the same applies for vehicles, missiles, jets, rockets, and all.

How much processor do you think the Soviets and US had in the rockets they used to get to space, Venus, Mars and even the moon?

Many Tecno phones even have better processors than those rockets. Yet, the rockets got it done.

So why do you think military weapons need better and smaller processors/microchips?

It makes no difference. Almost every weapon today is based on technology developed 30/40/50 years ago.

Weapons take decades to manufacture. Take the F-35 for instance. Research on it began in 1995 and that research was based on the Soviet Yak 141 which research began in 1975.

That's 30-50 years ago. What tech was used to develop it? What microchips were used? 2023 microchips? Or 1995 microchips?

Moore's law states that microchips get smaller, not better. A 1995 microchip will do what a 2023 one can do. The difference is that the 1995 own will be larger. But size isn't an issue since it will fit into a weapon.

Nobody is arguing nothing with you. You are just talking off-tangent. I am only responding to those asking why Netherlands is important to the big players and China are interested in them, and you have just confirmed that China needs them to stay competitive in the tech industry. That makes Netherlands an important country and they are the only ones with the technology. I don't know why you Putin fanboys must get your backs up at everything. At least now you know why China is interested in Netherlands. If someone is not important, why is China complaining? Because they don't have it, simples.

This is the original post I responded to. At least some people will understand the context of why they are rushing Netherlands, while you continue your unnecessary grandstanding

They should express this in dollar terms comparison YoY, not barrells to fool the gullible

Of what use is selling 600,000 barrel of oil at $49 average to India when the market is selling at $70-$80. Russia has nearly blown it's yearly budget deficit target already by end of March. Propaganda for Putidiots.

You use computers and phones and other devices and you wrote this?

Your windows 95 pc can do what a 2023 pc can do?
We had 5ghz processors in 1995?
You think size, thermal efficiency, processor speed do not affect weapons?

Can you whip up an improvised drone with 1995 technology?

Shoodboi:


Are you talking about consumer tech or military tech? Cos you're jumping between both, depending on how it suits your narrative.

As I said, read up Moore's law. The so-called modern microchips release more heat than older ones, so I wonder what you're driving at with your claims about thermal efficiency.

When you say size, are bombs and tanks and rockets getting smaller the way phones and computers got smaller? Nope. So the size of the microchip is not an issue.

When you say processor speed, are today's microchips faster than the equivalent from 20 years ago? I doubt that too.

Chips got smaller to allow us squeeze more processing power in the same space. This is useful for consumer tech since no one will want an iPhone that's the size of a brick.

But for military tech, who cares if your radio is the size of a brick? No one. Efficiency trumps size in military tech, so you all should stop making noise about microchips.
