I wish we had other options for GPUs (and CPUs) other than American and Chinese companies.
I don't really see this impacting prices in any way outside of China in a few segments (if that).
ATI was once Canadian.
Isn't ARM like norwegian but made by brittish? Or am I confounding with the atmega...
Anyways yeah I bet we in the EU could make some good hardware if we tried, and why not now when the usa has become unreliable?
Because making involves... well... actual making. Not just talking, consulting, concerning, etc.
They did the processor but yeah fair enough, we should have foundries too.
ARM is UK based. Atmega is not ARM based, it's a microcontroller family made by Atmel/Microchip, both American. An alternative for Atmega would be STM32 which is European. However, this all has nothing to do with GPUs, that's a totally different field.
Yeah ARM it was, but IIRC it was built by two Norwegian dudes and then made by the brittish. So european anyways.
This has lots of things to do with CPUs, not GPUs (see the top post I responded to).
I would love this too, but I feel like we'd need some kind of intermediary standard for drivers to work with. Otherwise, it's like the auto software industry without AUTOSAR.
