The is my sentiment exactly. This is a perfect opportunity for China to step in to the market with arm computers. And just at the right time when valve is investing heavily in running windows games in ARM. Unsurprising for American vendors to step on their dicks and shoot themselves on the foot out of sheer arrogance.
Yes, or better yet, RISC-V, it's within spitting distance of viability, China could push it over the line. Pretty sure Valve would get on board, they're pretty good at porting proton now. If they can get modern DRAM (e.g. DDR7 or HBM) fab going, to the moon (perhaps literally ;). Likely simpler than CPU for first gen EUV.
ETA: Ask and ye shall receive, China's EUV prototype https://www.heise.de/en/news/Report-China-is-said-to-have-a-functioning-EUV-lithography-system-11121936.html
It's on baby, at least in 2028 ITA. (I hope sooner, they're talking about a HBM graphics card next year elsewhere (likely manufactured at TSMC tho), so they know what to do with it once it works. and given the current situation I expect China to just thrrow money at the project, it'd be a huge win)
