WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.120 in my hand is the single scariest GPU in 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:10.400 the world this Chinese GPU is so threatening that it's got Biden flying 00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:15.560 around the world begging semiconductor manufacturers to stop working with China 00:00:13.719 --> 00:00:20.359 why well because it's completely homegrown from the Shroud to the sand 00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:25.640 that makes the Silicon this is a Chinese product and it took only 2 years to 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:28.720 create more threads has been extremely secretive about its development but now 00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:36.160 that it's out of their Testing Lab there's nothing to stop it from spreading around the world into my hands 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:41.760 allow me to introduce then the brand new fourth player in the dedicated GPU space 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:47.320 but then if you consider that a behemoth company like Intel has had such a rocky 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:52.079 road to bringing a GPU to Market how could this unproven Underdog possibly 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:56.920 hope to compete with the likes of NVIDIA and AMD they're going to have to be 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.519 fierce almost as Fierce as this segue to 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:03.480 our sponsor build Redux looking to level up your game experience build Redux is 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:07.680 here to help they'll create a custom gaming PC that is tailored to the specs 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:11.240 you set out while offering competitive pricing compared to building your own 00:01:09.479 --> 00:01:16.159 follow the link below and start building your dream gaming rig today more threads 00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:20.759 first showed up on our radar in 2021 and since then they've gone from fledgling 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:25.320 startup to raising a total of half a billion US Dollars and no fewer than 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:31.240 five SKS listed on their website absolutely wild but also not as 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:36.280 unexpected as you might initially think you see they're helmed by James Zang who 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:43.040 previously was VP and general manager of nidia's Chinese Division and they're 00:01:38.399 --> 00:01:44.719 funded by you guessed it the CCP so when 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:51.000 we learned that they had finally launched their first gaming GPU we had 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.280 to get one except we couldn't 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:58.159 unsurprisingly as members of the western media more threads was completely 00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:01.960 uninterested in returning our calls and the first wave of gpus that they 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:05.439 released to customers were only available for those who managed to get 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:10.679 their hands on a purchase code through a lottery system kind of OnePlus style 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:16.040 thankfully we were able to find one such individual who was willing to send us 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:18.040 the GPU to take a look at thanks pal 00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:22.239 okay the script just says unbox is there anything interesting ah well this is 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:28.319 interesting rather than use a standard PCI power connector more threads has an 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:34.080 adapter that appears to go from Dual PCI E8 pin to eight pin EPS which is the 00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:38.920 connector that you would normally use for a motherboard not for a GPU this is 00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:43.640 something we've seen before on server gpus but not really on gaming ones 00:02:41.959 --> 00:02:48.640 whether it's due to the aluminum shroud or the relatively wide spacing of the 00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:55.680 heat SN fins it's feels kind of light compared to a modern top tier card like 00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:57.440 a 7900 XTX it's rated for 255 wats total 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.920 board power though so depending on the performance per watt it could end up 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:07.799 within spitting distance in games that 255 wat TDP could also help explain our 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:12.840 8 Pin CPU connector this guy is rated at 300 watts compared to the 150 watts of 00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:17.640 an 8 pin PCIe connector though there are other strategies for that like putting 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:21.720 dual PCIe 8 pins on it the more likely possibility is that this is pretty much 00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:27.000 the same thing as their new server GPU the MTT s3000 that happens to have the 00:03:25.239 --> 00:03:32.799 same number of compute cores clocked slightly higher and twice as much RAM 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:38.360 just with a gaming oriented shroud on it in servers PCI based cards like NVIDIA's 00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:42.680 Tesla now known as data center gpus commonly use EPS power connectors for a 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:47.560 couple of reasons first and foremost it's faster to plug in one cable than 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:52.560 two and also because the EPS 12vt connector was established by SSI or the 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:56.120 server system infrastructure Forum way back before PCIe power connectors even 00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.640 existed and it's just kind of never really gone 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:05.280 away what makes this gaming then honestly not much it's got a triple fan 00:04:03.239 --> 00:04:09.439 shroud compared to the blower style that you would normally find in server or 00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:15.200 workstation cards and ample display outputs this is three DisplayPort 1.4s 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:23.400 and an HDMI 2.1 making it extremely modern and that's not the only way it's 00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:27.600 modern this is the first GPU with a PCI 00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:31.280 gen 5x6 interface that's right they beat 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:35.560 NVIDIA AMD and and Intel to the punch 00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:38.560 it's got 16 gigs of gddr6 memory 496 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:42.400 Musa compute cores clocked at 1.8 GHz 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:45.600 giving it 14.4 teraflops of fp32 compute 00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:48.199 power hm so maybe not trading blows with 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:54.639 the 7900 XTX that would put it between an RTX 3060 and a 3060 TI in terms of 00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:58.639 raw performance which is sort of disappointing I mean I 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:06.160 thought this thing was supposed to be scary right adding to its modernness it 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:09.479 supports vp9 h264 h265 and apparently 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:12.840 av1 encoding and that 16 gigs of memory 00:05:09.479 --> 00:05:15.520 is connected over a 256-bit memory bus 00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:21.639 giving it about the same maximum memory bandwidth as a 3060 TI though with twice 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:26.800 the amount of RAM which again could beely its um server Heritage the GPU at 00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:31.000 its heart is apparently based on their Chan Shia architecture Andy's not here 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:35.880 to help me with the pronunciation though so that could be way off this feels so 00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:39.680 naughty as a member of the hated Western media I'm not supposed to be playing 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:45.960 with this thing at least not yet o it does have RGB it's kind of pretty oh 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:49.919 right and it has AI cores as well kind of like NVIDIA's tensor cor though 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:55.080 exactly what we can do with them we're not sure yet these Chinese gpus are 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.080 making me 00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:02.800 thirsty a yawn response it was a good 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.639 time TT store.com that's it it's up I 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:09.240 don't know why but I expected this to require a little bit more faffing about 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:13.319 well there was some minor faf before you came here I don't know why I'm so 00:06:10.840 --> 00:06:17.880 surprised I mean obviously if it didn't display a Windows desktop they wouldn't 00:06:15.080 --> 00:06:24.120 ship the thing you'd think right but but it just works 120 HZ it only actually 00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:25.840 supports 17 motherboards total they 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.160 actually only sell it in a bundle because they're so worried about people 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:33.360 buying the card and then not being able to run it so we tried it in other boards 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:37.960 and it just it's not a validation thing it just doesn't it it doesn't appear we 00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:41.759 were very thankful that we had one in stock of the ones that they supported 00:06:39.599 --> 00:06:46.639 does it support HDR there does not appear to be any HDR support it's not in 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:52.479 English I think I can infer a lot of this though GPU clock GPU usage GPU 00:06:50.479 --> 00:06:57.639 temperature it's quiet 00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:02.000 is oh man I just immediately want to go off-road Okay I lied I want 00:07:00.919 --> 00:07:08.840 what's aav1 I've only got SVT av1 and a av1 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:12.319 well I've got x264 but that's CP so I I guess typically it would show like 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:17.759 NVIDIA nank or something yeah and it or Intel av1 we here we'll see if the usage 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:19.840 goes up okay well the encoder is there 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:24.599 but it's not supported at least by OBS at this time this might actually have um 00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:30.160 screen cap in it I know it has overlays let's Control Alt 00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:33.840 a I saw a yellow thing FL flash up I wonder if that was screen recording okay 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:38.240 well we know what that is that's gaming overlay or whatever 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:41.800 screenshot oh so we just hold it down it's basically screen cap okay so I need 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:47.440 let's get into a game what game do you want to play I want to play League of Legends really you do well I just assume 00:07:45.960 --> 00:07:51.199 that this is going to be a beast for League of Legends 00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:54.039 cuz that's like the most popular game in China yeah do you want to try anything 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:58.759 more modern like Shadow the tomb ra is a good place to start everything runs on Shadow the Tomb Raider sure it's good we 00:07:57.080 --> 00:08:04.319 don't have a doom Eternal cuz the the demons are chin demons so we could J 00:08:01.159 --> 00:08:07.879 really what oh shut 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:09.720 up no support for direct X12 my 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:14.599 resolution drop down has very few options uh I guess we'll go with 4K oh I 00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:22.479 wonder if their scaler sucks and my monitor refresh rate options are super 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:25.479 weird 24 okay 30 yeah 60 sure thing 82 00:08:22.479 --> 00:08:28.199 what are these refresh rates ooh see it 00:08:25.479 --> 00:08:32.719 it can barely even render this box my first more thread gaming exper oh this 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:37.120 is okay I can tell from your face this is as far as it goes isn't it yeah oh 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:42.800 it's completely locked up die here's the situation aside from supporting only 17 00:08:39.800 --> 00:08:47.160 motherboards it also only supports 00:08:42.800 --> 00:08:49.440 direct X9 games with some direct X11 00:08:47.160 --> 00:08:54.640 games and this is in large part thanks to its lack of tessellation support I 00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:59.640 mean it booted really fast they actually just added 23 more games so back to my 00:08:57.959 --> 00:09:03.279 initial Instinct then can we find fire up League of legendss yes oh my God 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:08.760 there's an update while you're doing that we'll compare it to this other system we have oh right there's a second 00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:12.800 system here I assume that has a like RTX 3060 in it that would be the spec for 00:09:10.839 --> 00:09:18.440 speec comparable it's a 1660 oh it's price comparable though 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:22.560 okay well that gives me a different set of expectations with respect to 00:09:19.920 --> 00:09:27.640 Performance but then already it didn't run the first game of try to run look at 00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:30.000 all the things in this stupid dashboard 00:09:27.640 --> 00:09:35.120 that are not play the game start your Legend is not it play league is not it 00:09:32.760 --> 00:09:38.680 the game is temporarily unavailable okay am I an idiot or I actually I don't know 00:09:37.640 --> 00:09:44.800 either I don't know how to get this to open play DotA the superior MOA okay can 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:48.480 you put the gaming overlay up uh contrl 00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:51.320 alt x no Windows key is not working 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:56.120 control alt delete hey there we go how dare you it is totally control All Tex 00:09:55.079 --> 00:10:02.880 probably the game doesn't allow you to have overlays oh anti cheats I mean it's 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:06.240 smooth I really wish I had an FPS counter right now but it's working it's 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:12.680 at medium okay I'm setting it to very high 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:18.040 still working still smooth how's your experience on this great actually I'm 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:23.440 getting over 100 frames per second boys at 4K at 4K everything maxed out oh man 00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:29.480 I don't think it's that hard to run Le I'm going to get dead press F but I don't want to pay 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:33.120 respects no it heals you I think look I don't play this game all right so 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:39.720 there's things called creeps and there's like I know how the game fundamentally 00:10:37.079 --> 00:10:44.800 works there's more than one enemy hero that I have to fight it's stupid it's a 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:49.440 team game not only is this running but it's been Rock Solid I don't see any 00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:55.000 graphical anomalies and it's actually really quiet all right 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:58.360 time for some Counter Strike what are your settings just go through and make 00:10:57.040 --> 00:11:03.839 sure they're the same The Game just crashed so cool yeah maybe you should 00:11:00.920 --> 00:11:07.440 get a more more threads GPU you have more luck interesting fact that I 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.200 learned is that the Bots are controlled by the GPU so having Bots actually 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:16.440 affects your GPU results I thought they were CPU maybe that's why they're so 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.279 dumb I get killed by Bots a lot in CS go 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:27.279 all right you're playing counterterrorist 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:30.079 oh this is not good that says 30 FPS but 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:35.639 these frame times are extreme ex L inconsistent yeah it's pretty smooth for 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:36.839 me I'm between like 160 to 200 yeah try 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:40.760 looking at the ground there you go look at all those 00:11:41.079 --> 00:11:49.120 frames dang it I have to imagine that it's probably not designed with 4K in 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:54.040 mind with that said if you have 16 gigs of vram and a high performance GPU it's 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:57.079 not a big stretch to say oh well if performs well at 1080p it should also 00:11:55.440 --> 00:12:01.639 perform well at 4K I'm going to try switching to 1080 wait I can't can't 00:11:59.800 --> 00:12:05.920 remember my resolution drop down was borked and other stuff well I brought 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:11.680 another monitor out for you oh my god really okay well let's at least set it 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:16.199 oh I can't even set it above 60 wait why can't it but go above 60 this monitor 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:23.639 can almost certainly do at least 120 over HDMI try this yeah let's try 00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:26.000 DP you nuked it monitor's doing stuff it 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:32.519 it's it's it's having a think yay there we go it's not a good 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:37.639 sign for your product that we're excited that it turns on at all 120 FPS on a 00:12:35.560 --> 00:12:42.240 two-dimensional splash screen the smoothness of the frame delivery is 00:12:39.880 --> 00:12:48.079 better what I suspect is that they basically just didn't test it at 4K at 00:12:44.839 --> 00:12:50.279 all this is a smooth 50 FPS whereas that 00:12:48.079 --> 00:12:56.560 was a dog crap 2530 the rough performance of this GPU 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.920 kind of sits around uh the gt1030 which 00:12:56.560 --> 00:13:05.120 is a 30 watt card this card pulls about 250 00:13:02.160 --> 00:13:14.199 watts gt1030 is also $80 yeah more threads more like less 00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:16.519 frames there it is I got 300 FPS for a 00:13:14.199 --> 00:13:21.079 second there wow I'm at 90 right now in the tunnel yeah so it's the Bots 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:26.040 interesting the hard part about making a CPU is that you're trying to make Hardware that can do everything mhm the 00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:29.199 hard part about making a GPU you're trying to make Hardware that matches 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:34.920 these already established standards so you know what your Hardware is going to do but getting it to cooperate very 00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:38.399 challenging I was getting like 400 frames per second in the tutorial for a 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:44.720 second there then this guy shows up I drop down to 130 I was so happy with my 00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:48.880 3 to 400 FPS he's getting 1,000 okay what what settings are you 00:13:47.160 --> 00:13:54.199 running at what settings are you running at okay I'm at I'm at very high let me 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:57.320 let me set that I still at a th000 once again I'm at an eighth of the 00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:01.000 performance with double the power consumption it runs the game I mean 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:06.120 that's impress it's better than I could do Team Fortress 2 let's go I want to 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:10.720 see if it glitches that's all I need to know I know it used to be so good I it 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:16.440 started going downhill for me when they started having different weaps and stuff yeah it was flawlessly balanced there 00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:21.440 was some pretty bad balancing especially at the start and I think that you're a 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:25.199 fanboy I'm not a fanboy it's actually legitimately so fair and it's because of 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:29.120 the size of the teams that allows for like kind of offside battles as well as 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:31.759 like the sheer variety of weapon combinations makes it so that there's 00:14:30.680 --> 00:14:35.639 why don't you write a little poem about it dude I probably have already it's 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:44.320 obviously not getting the kind of performance that I would get out of a base tier NVIDIA GPU but I'm anywhere 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:47.600 from 70 to 100 FPS even in a 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:49.519 firefight that's not great look now when 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:55.079 we tried games that were not on the supported list was it just universally 00:14:52.839 --> 00:14:59.240 not compatible like factorio is that supported no oh but you get a lot of 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:03.440 these they're making driver checks and calls at the start yeah and they'll just 00:15:01.160 --> 00:15:07.560 be like nope so it's fairly crap then yeah it's basically garbage I mean I 00:15:05.199 --> 00:15:11.160 couldn't build one but then I haven't likely stolen a bunch of Ip from NVIDIA 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:14.560 took them two years to make a GPU and you three years to make a screwdriver 00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:20.839 yeah thanks for that Adam that's really helpful oh here we go oh interesting 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:23.800 they went and they created a custom 00:15:20.839 --> 00:15:30.160 connector here so that they can carry all of these pwm signals and 12vt power 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:36.480 to the fans separately this 8 Pin EPS power connector passes through to a four 00:15:32.880 --> 00:15:39.279 pin does it even actually draw 250 Watts 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:45.440 or whatever it's we saw it drawing 250 oh but they're actually doing it through 00:15:42.040 --> 00:15:49.360 a four pin plus the 75 Watts from the 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:51.079 slot uh okay all the vrms are along the 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:56.120 top edge of the board I don't think I've ever seen that before this is a little 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:58.360 like grounding tab for the cooler 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:02.279 Samsung memory chips I mean they're labeled Sam 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:07.000 it's definitely a more threads die though what a curious product on the one 00:16:05.079 --> 00:16:11.360 hand it supports the latest standards but on the other hand it barely works 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:15.360 you know if you were wondering if there's any Merit to it outside of 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:19.839 gaming unfortunately we weren't able to test AI maybe that's part of their play 00:16:18.040 --> 00:16:23.839 since right now China's having a hard time getting their hands on powerful AI 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:27.680 accelerators but if the AI performance is anything like productivity 00:16:25.199 --> 00:16:34.160 performance let's just say the lack of a 7-Day no question questions asked return 00:16:30.040 --> 00:16:37.920 policy is not a big surprise to us so 00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:41.319 why is it bad unlike CPUs there are very 00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:43.600 few options for open or licensable GPU 00:16:41.319 --> 00:16:47.600 architectures the biggest players all like to keep their secret sauce firmly 00:16:45.680 --> 00:16:52.160 in their Satchel meaning that more threads had to design their architecture 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:56.040 from the ground up or well I mean they probably didn't even if you possess 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:59.399 considerable knowledge and funding making your own architecture iterating 00:16:58.040 --> 00:17:04.240 on that putting it into to a board and shipping it could easily take 10 years 00:17:01.800 --> 00:17:09.400 let alone too and this is just their first consumer GPU more threads have 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:15.319 already released several Enterprise gpus meaning something is a miss here and 00:17:13.360 --> 00:17:21.799 that's where we got to kind of pull the sheets off of China's big secret this 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:24.280 isn't quite a fully Chinese GPU Korean 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:28.880 Tech Channel bull Labs did some digging and noticed that the company actually 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:32.760 licensed IP from imagination technology IES the company that owns the power VR 00:17:31.360 --> 00:17:36.559 architecture you might have heard from them from when they helped make gpus for 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:41.960 Apple in the days of the early iPhones and iPads now lots of companies license 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:47.440 IP from others I mean all of Apple's impressive M series chips are based on 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:51.320 ARM but they also don't claim to be all 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:53.840 American chips except technically 00:17:51.320 --> 00:17:57.760 imagination Technologies is owned by Canyon Bridge Capital Partners who are 00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:03.080 in turn funded by the Chinese central government making this 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:04.480 well technically a Chinese GPU now China 00:18:03.080 --> 00:18:08.799 understands the disadvantages of needing to lean on the rest of the world for their chips that's why the Chinese 00:18:07.320 --> 00:18:15.559 government announced they were investing $1.4 trillion dollar into Tech in 2020 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:18.520 making Biden's government's 53 billion 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:21.760 chips act look like walking around money and while more threads is the most 00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:25.120 prominent player that we've seen at least over here in the west China's not 00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:29.320 putting all their eggs in one basket and actually has numerous GPU projects and 00:18:27.360 --> 00:18:32.559 companies on the go so then does this mean we're going to see 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:37.120 ripping fast Chinese gpus in just a couple more years probably not I mean 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:41.120 first off tensions between China and the US are pretty high right now we've seen 00:18:38.679 --> 00:18:45.320 the Huawei ban a potential Tik Tock ban and Joey B cracking down on Chinese 00:18:43.159 --> 00:18:50.280 access to Western designed gpus from the likes of NVIDIA not to mention important 00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:55.120 semiconductor IP so there is a chance that these gpus may actually never end 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:59.039 up being sold in North America though that could be a bit of an advantage for 00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:04.919 them because it would mean that the was that big leak of NVIDIA IP a little 00:19:01.280 --> 00:19:06.840 while back they could utilize some of 00:19:04.919 --> 00:19:11.280 the things they found without worrying about any kind of import restrictions on 00:19:09.520 --> 00:19:15.280 top of that the Chinese government seems more interested in limiting gaming 00:19:13.320 --> 00:19:19.400 performance than investing in gaming Hardware so it's likely that this is 00:19:17.280 --> 00:19:23.720 more of an AI play than a gaming Play Nothing is for certain though right now 00:19:21.320 --> 00:19:28.000 except that this card totally sucks and even if you have access to it you 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:31.520 shouldn't buy it and that I have this message to tell you about from our 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:36.840 sponsor if you enjoyed this video why don't you check out the video we made on 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:39.080 China's homegrown x86 CPU 00:19:36.840 --> 00:19:41.799 from I'd be interested to see what a new one looks like
