Get ready for a CPU that costs 1/10 of an AMD CPU!

With proportionate quality control.

Yes, Just like those awful iphones they also make.

Have you seen knockoff iPhones that sell for 1/10 the cost of an iPhone? They’re not backed by a $2.7T corporation.

No, but I have seen absolutely impressive Huawei and Xiaomi Android phones.

Xiaomi is publicly traded, and Huawei was indirectly funded by the Chinese government with $75B in tax breaks. Good quality control in leading technology is very expensive. The losses from a manufacturing defect can be difficult to absorb, often leaving standards parallel to financing.
