- You sir should stop playing games ans hwt off win11
  Love a win 11 user who cries daily

It's made on the 14nm manufacturing node, using DUV because of export controls
- Am interesting article I found regarding that:

  It will run hot and suck up a fuckton of power.
  
  Ah yes. And China still burns coal for power don't they?

context : China had, often times, the most powerful computers (of the whole world, in the last few years).

THAT'S A LOTTA FLOPS

Nice China! Until the end of the decade they will be number one in cpu production. 🥳

quadruples its performance:
Connects to internet ~~now~~
local intranet with Borat's computer
Has an off switch
MacOS/Windows/Linux/Android/iOS/DOS-friendly (all of them)
