David B., be careful with claims like “a company already has X that will dwarf Y.” In practice, transformative shifts in computing are slow, visible through benchmarks, publications, developer adoption, and large-scale deployments, not pre-announced in vague terms, right?
Nasrin, a strong point, but chip performance still sets the foundation!The real edge is full-stack control under geopolitical constraints.
Stefan Rohringer, really appreciated!Share with your community. Your friends will thank you.
Are you aware of the real reason for China's obsession for colonising Taiwan? Taiwan produces 86% of the world's semiconductors. Once people understand that, their motivation becomes clearer.
Edgar Perez Global Speaker once people understand that Taiwan produces 86% of the world's superconductors, I think China's obsession with it becomes clearer.
Nick O'Rourke, taking over Taiwan doesn't mean taking over its chip prowess.
Well, what does it mean if for not taking over its industrial and intellectual prowess?
Edgar Perez Global Speaker Thank-You 🙏🏻💜🙏🏾
Edgar Perez Global Speaker Fair point — taking Taiwan would not automatically mean taking over its chip capability. The expertise, supply chains, tooling, IP, international partnerships, and operational know-how are not things you simply inherit by occupying territory. So I agree it is not as simple as “control Taiwan, control chips”. But Taiwan’s role in advanced semiconductor manufacturing is still central to the strategic calculation. It produces over 60% of global semiconductors and more than 90% of the most advanced chips. It also matters for the next layer of computing: quantum. Taiwan may not yet dominate quantum computing itself, but its semiconductor ecosystem, photonics, packaging, cryo-CMOS research, materials expertise, and precision manufacturing could become deeply important to the quantum hardware stack. So yes, occupation would not equal instant control. But semiconductors, and eventually quantum-enabling hardware, are absolutely part of why Taiwan matters so much strategically.
Nick O'Rourke, right! China is not trying to avoid industrial and intellectual prowess. China is trying to ensure it owns and controls the stack rather than depending on external chokepoints.
Nick O'Rourke, would agree with you. Quantum might require a different type of infrastructure.
Mark Young, 👍
